Paramedics in Shropshire will be able to use £69,000 childbirth dummies to train for maternity care.
West Midlands Ambulance Service has bought five of the 'Victoria' simulator mannequins using funding from Health Education England.
The roadshow, at the WMAS Sandwell Hub, is part of a Maternity Month being hosted by the trust in October, and includes a range of continuous practice development activities aimed at improving the knowledge and confidence of ambulance clinicians when providing pre-hospital maternity care. “We have been very privileged to have secured talks from a number of specialists for our roadshow and I hope all of the staff who attend will take a lot from it and give them more confidence when providing pre-hospital maternity care.”
The trust has also introduced"cuddle pockets" for the safe transportation of miscarried babies, as well as trans-warmer mattresses being introduced on ambulances, with the aim of reducing the number of babies born before arrival at hospital developing hypothermia.
