The course includes lectures, skills stations and workshops covering: resuscitation of the mother and newborn, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, amniotic fluid embolism, pulmonary embolism and airway management; trauma, including shock, spine and spinal cord injuries and musculoskeletal trauma; obstetric emergencies, including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, umbilical cord prolapse and anaesthetic emergencies; and triage and transfer. The Manual provides readers with a structured preparation and revision system for the course.
