RCOG Operative Birth Simulation Training ROBuST Trainer
and Trainee Course Combined – May 2017
Overview
New for 2017, the RCOG is running a ROBuST Trainees’ Course combined with a Train the Trainers Course. This is to allow trainees who are not able to attend a local course or who are coming from outside the UK to participate in training whilst also allowing new faculty who want to run the course locally as part of the RCOG franchised course programme the chance to experience a course guided by expert faculty.
The aim of ROBuST is to provide instruction and hands–on practice in all methods of operative vaginal birth (both non-rotational and rotational) to facilitate the achievement of the OSATS competencies on the RCOG Training matrix. Techniques for performing a Caesarean Section at full dilatation are also covered. The course consists of short lectures, hands-on workshops and small group discussions on teamwork and communication.
The cost of the course is inclusive of the ROBuST course manual (and Trainer’s manual for new trainers).
Space on this course is strictly limited to 16 places for Trainees and 6 for Trainers.
