PROMPT Partnership Handbook

Expand

A detailed and comprehensive guide on how to set up and sustain successful PROMPT training, including information for management teams and business cases for funding, support with maternity dashboards for monitoring outcomes, and how to obtain the wider cultural and safety benefits from PROMPT. Our market research has indicated that units appreciate this more directive approach.

PROMPT Partnership Programme

Expand

PMF currently uses a 'Train the Trainer’ (T3) model for the distribution of PROMPT across the UK, this requires multi-professional teams of staff from each unit to attend the T3 training and learn how to utilise the PROMPT training resources and set up local PROMPT training in their own units. They are provided with the PROMPT 'Course in a Box' which includes Course and Trainer’s Manuals and downloadable evidence-based multi-media materials and tools, with the aim of helping maternity units to implement effective training and make ‘the right way the easy way’.

As NHS Resolution has incentivised local multi-professional training of all maternity staff, there has been an increased demand for PROMPT training.  However, based on PMF's research, experience and also information that has been received via market research from many units that have implemented PROMPT locally, there appears to be significant variation in each unit’s success at setting up, and sustaining, their local training. This is a common problem when trying to introduce training interventions at scale, and as a consequence, the impact on improving outcomes and unit culture is not always observed. Some of the difficulties that units have identified are:

  • Delays in implementation of local training following T3 attendance
  • Lack of multi-professional engagement from all members of the team
  • Reduced authenticity of training
  • Problems with administration and team coordination
  • Difficulties with management ‘buy in’ and commitment to release staff to attend the training and to be faculty
  • Elements of PROMPT that go beyond training and encourage behaviour change are not enacted, such as multi-professional ward rounds; effective collection and use of data and role modelling by senior staff.

To address some of these implementation difficulties and support units to ensure the effective uptake of PROMPT to fulfil CNST training requirements, PMF has been developing an enhanced package of support; the ‘The PROMPT Partnership Programme’. In collaboration with the Health Foundation and supported by guidance from Spring Impact (a social franchise organisation), PMF have commenced a pilot project to introduce this enhanced training implementation support package and have selected 5 maternity units to participate in this exciting new programme.  The selected maternity units are:

  • The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
  • Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Trust
  • Ipswich and Colchester Maternity Hospitals

          

This pilot programme is based on a partnership between PMF and each participating unit, with an allocated PMF team working together with the unit to support the successful implementation of local PROMPT training.

The Maternity units that have signed up to the pilot programme are entitled to a package of 12 months of implementation support, tailored to the units needs and based on PMF’s understanding of the key factors required to implement the programme effectively. This includes:

  • PROMPT's story

    As a result of the positive findings of the SaFE Study and also the associated outcome improvements at Southmead Hospital, the PROMPT (PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) Train-The-Trainers package was developed by a dedicated group of health care professionals based in maternity units in the South West of England, UK. The package was designed to be used locally and to improve outcomes for mothers and their babies.
