Course description

This course will provide students with an overview of the challenges around caring for mothers and babies with a critical illness, including ways to prevent the devastating outcomes of critical illness in pregnancy, labour and the puerperium. The role of the midwife in early recognition of critical illness of childbearing women and identification of the need for a rapid response and/or timely referral to the multidisciplinary healthcare team to achieve safe, high quality care based on current evidence will be explored, together with the need for a knowledgeable and skilled multidisciplinary team who is well rehearsed in the treatment of maternal and neonatal emergency response.
