Achievements

To date the FSEP has been delivered to in excess of 10 000 medical and midwifery staff at approximately 150 sites throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Over 80% of Victorian public and private hospitals offering intrapartum care use the FSEP.

The FSEP is a curriculum component of 5 out of 6 Victorian Universities offering undergraduate and/or postgraduate courses in midwifery.

On average, all participants either agreed or strongly agreed that the FSEP course:

• Enabled me to review and update knowledge in the topics presented.
• Enabled me to enhance my understanding in the topics presented.
• Featured relevant and practical case presentations.
• Improved my confidence in CTG interpretation.
