The development of PROMPT (Practical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) has led to the publication of the PROMPT ‘Course in a Box’, which in January 2017 saw the launch of its 3rd edition. This brings the course right up-to-date with all the latest evidence, including:

• UK Sepsis Trust and NICE Sepsis guidelines
• FIGO and NICE electronic fetal monitoring
• OAA/DAS failed intubation algorithms
• UK Resuscitation Guidelines
• WOMAN Trial of tranexamic acid in postpartum haemorrhage (PPH)

National recommendations for multi-professional obstetrics emergencies training for all maternity staff in the UK (National Maternity Review 2016), coupled with data demonstrating improved outcomes for mothers and babies, has led to PROMPT being adopted by most units in the UK.

Since 2021, PROMPT's training has been delivered as an annually updated course, allowing units to keep right up-to-date with the latest national guidance and emerging evidence.
