Training and confidence levels among health professionals attending newborn deliveries

Up to 10% of infants require assistance at birth. Paediatricians, neonatal nurses, advanced neonatal nurse practitioners, midwives, obstetricians and anaesthetists could all potentially be involved and each Royal College recommends some form of newborn life support training. However, training and confidence levels among staff present at deliveries are unknown. The study presented here aimed to determine training and confidence levels among the multi-professional team present at infant deliveries.
