Default Re: What births do you have to witness

[quote=Freefall;34871]We have to have witnessed 5 normal biths, carry out 40 normal deliveries, 100 antenatal examination, 100 supervision and care of postnatal women, 100 care and supervision of the newborn, 40 care of women at risk, and 40 supervision and care in labour.
quote]

the NMC set down the requirement, so we all have to do the same regardless of where you study. in addition to this there is 10 high risk deliveries as well i think.
Plus the other stuff as FF says, this includes keeping a running total of things such as episitomies, VE's, theory of suturing and any suturing performed, parent ed attended etc etc etc

but the thing that seems to change from place to place and student to student and mentor to mentor is the number of witnessess you have to get before getting hands on....it is usually somewhere between 5 and 10.
