Undergraduate PROMPT
We speak to Dr Melanie Griffin, University of Bristol, and Jemma Walker, University of the West of England about their experience of delivering Undergraduate PROMPT. Both are experienced educators and offer a lot of advice and hints about their practical experience of Undergraduate PROMPT training and how this package has grown for them since 2019.
Undergraduate PROMPT is specifically designed for maternity students (student midwives and medical students). However, the themes covered in this package could easily be adapted for other medical emergency situations; the skills and teamworking required to manage each scenario are likely to be transferable to other specialties.

Maternal collapse
Maternal collapse is covered in the Annual Update 2022/23 content. We chat to Dr Neil Muchatuta, anaesthetist, and Dr Sharan Athwal, obstetrician, about this obstetric emergency. The Annual Update content includes a Supplementary Reading chapter on the topic, Module Booklet for a practical simulation, PowerPoint slides for your local team to adapt and a recorded presentation to act as a serving suggestion for presenters.
