Outcomes are measured at baseline (pre-training) and then again measured post training. This will be any time in the 2 weeks following training, depending on availability and convince of the participant: 1. Training success: ability to perform a delivery scored on a mark scheme for both practical and verbal recall 2. Change in confidence assessed upon their simulated delivery using a modified version of the six-item, five-point confidence scoring tool previously validated for gynaecology trainees and has already been used and adapted to assess confidence in assisted vaginal birth 3. Change in knowledge: five questions are asked requiring free text responses which have been devised by a multidisciplinary team

Outcomes are measured at baseline (pre-training) and then again measured post training. This will be any time in the 2 weeks following training, depending on availability and convince of the participant: Expectations and experiences of training, measured using three free text boxes exploring training expectations and five free text boxes exploring experiences of training
