Advance Life Support Group’s (ALSG) clinical education & training programmes improve outcomes for people in life-threatening situations, anywhere along the health care pathway, anywhere in the world.
 
The mMOET course provides a high-level structured approach to recognition, resuscitation and treatment of medical emergencies and trauma in those with the altered physiology and anatomy of pregnancy. The physiological adjustments of pregnancy affect the responses of the mother to illness and injury, requiring resuscitation to be tailored to the pregnant patient.
 
The aims of the course include:
 
  • To provide the knowledge, practical skills and procedures necessary to save the mother and fetus in life-threatening circumstances
  • To present a senior systematic approach of Primary Survey, Resuscitation, Secondary Survey and Definitive Care, enabling the clinician to give the best patient care in complex situation
  • To review trauma and medical emergencies in the pregnant patient, including triage and transfer

The programme comprises online e-modules plus a 2-day face-to-face course. The course is run at the Whittington Education Centre. The online learning elements of the course deliver the knowledge components, preparing participants for the practical application of this knowledge during the face-to-face course.
