About the role
This interview examines safe care through labour, birth and the immediate postnatal period. The panel is looking for accurate monitoring, prompt response to maternal or newborn emergencies, respectful consent and reliable coordination with the maternity team.
How to prepare
- Review systematic assessment of labour progress and maternal and fetal wellbeing.
- Refresh the first actions for major obstetric emergencies and newborn resuscitation.
- Prepare an example of escalation based on a change in maternal or fetal observations.
- Practise explaining consent, choices and changing care plans in plain language.
- Review what belongs in a complete labour, birth and postnatal handover.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on labour progress while overlooking maternal or fetal deterioration.
- Listing emergency tasks without stating when and how you call for help.
- Treating consent as a one-time form rather than an ongoing conversation.
- Using judgemental language about a woman's choices or pain.
