Brief summary
Simulation training is used to develop both clinical and teamwork skills. Effective teamwork, including allocation of leadership is an important factor in providing high quality patient care in emergencies. This project aims to evaluate how maternity teams share leadership and during emergencies and determine if leadership sharing is related to teamwork and clinical performance.
Interventions
Multidisciplinary teams participating in immersive simulation scenarios of obstetric emergencies will be viewed retrospectively by trained raters. Simulation scenarios are delivered within an 8 hour simulation course. Participants undergo an introductory session including a 45 minute interactive teaching session on principles of crisis resource management. Scenarios last 10-15 minutes and are followed by a 20-40 minute debrief conducted by a trained facilitator. Participants participate in or

Participants undergo an introductory session including a 45 minute interactive teaching session on principles of crisis resource management. Scenarios last 10-15 minutes and are followed by a 20-40 minute debrief conducted by a trained facilitator. Participants participate in or observe 6 simulated scenarios during the course. Active participation in the 2-4 scenarios occurs for each participant. Scenarios include maternal collapse ( 2 cases), uterine inversion, post partum haemorrhage, eclampsia and shoulder dystocia
