Who this workshop is for
If you provide labour care and want to feel more confident offering and using intermittent auscultation - then this workshop is perfect for you.
- You support informed decision making about fetal monitoring and want to include intermittent auscultation in what you offer
- You know what the guidelines say about how to do intermittent auscultation but you aren't confident that following them is enough for safe practice
- You don't see intermittent auscultation used very often in your unit and want to change that
1
Master the evidence comparing intermittent auscultation with CTG use.

Develop confidence in your physiology -informed clinical judgement.

Ready to feel more confident with intermittent auscultation?
The evidence supporting intermittent auscultation as a safe option for most women (not just super-low risk women) has been established for over 40 years. Despite this women struggle to access intermittent auscultation. When asked, one of the common barriers for midwives to offer it is a lack of confidence.
It is time to leave that behind, and step into a better maternity future. Safe and respectful maternity care includes effective approaches to intermittent auscultation.
