Welcome to PROMPT

PROMPT (PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) is an evidence based multi-professional training package for obstetric emergencies. It is associated with measurable improvements in perinatal and maternal outcomes. It improves knowledge, clinical skills and team working.

PROMPT courses have been run in Aotearoa New Zealand since 2006 and more than 90% of the country's birthing units have run PROMPT training.

There have been over 6000 individual course attendances and more than 2500 course manuals have been sold.

 

PROMPT's multi-professional approach and local adaptability make it a cost-effective way to ensure all staff providing maternity and labour care can work confidently and effectively together when a childbirth emergency occurs.


PROMPT provides training for maternity units, helping midwives, obstetricians, anaesthetists and other maternity team members to work safely and more effectively.
