Maternity Training Needs Analysis and

Training Matrix Clinical Guideline

V3.0

June 2021


Aim/Purpose of this Guideline

1.1. To offer advice to staff on their mandatory training needs and how they may seek to undertake the training required. To be transparent regarding the identification of training needs to meet the demands of ensuring safe, effective provision of care. This TNA and training strategy is specific to midwives and also includes the multi-disciplinary team of Obstetricians at all levels, Maternity Nurses, Maternity Support Workers, Obstetric Anaesthetists and Paediatricians who work within maternity clinical area

1.2. This version supersedes any previous versions of this document.

2. The Guidance Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) is committed to the vision of the National Maternity Review Better Births Report to become safer, more personalised, kinder, professional and more family friendly. Education and training can break down barriers to providing safe care, creating an environment where all staff learns from error, patients are at the centre of care, treated with openness and honesty and where staff are trained to focus on patient needs. However, the right workplace conditions, motivation and opportunity must also exist in order to ensure sustained behaviour change (Health Education England, 2016). This training needs analysis (TNA) and training strategy, identifies the training required to underpin our commitment. To support this, RCHT maternity has successfully bid for Health Education England funding for safety training. Maternity services cannot operate in isolation from the rest of Royal Cornwall Hospital (RCHT), sharing many systems and procedures, therefore, this strategy should be cross referenced with RCHT Mandatory and Statutory Training Policy.

2.1. Training Needs Analysis

2.1.1. Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) & Ockenden(2020) 2.1.1.1. The Maternity Safety Strategy set out the Department of

Health and Social Care’s ambition to reward those who have taken action to improve maternity safety. RCHT continues to follow the NHS Resolution Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) scheme (NEW 2021). In order to incentivise

Data Protection Act 2018 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) Legislation

The Trust has a duty under the DPA18 to ensure that there is a valid legal basis to process personal and sensitive data. The legal basis for processing must be identified and documented before the processing begins. In many cases we may need consent; this must be explicit, informed and documented. We cannot rely on opt out, it must be opt in.

DPA18 is applicable to all staff; this includes those working as contractors and providers of services.

For more information about your obligations under the DPA18 please see the Information Use Framework Policy or contact the Information Governance Team [email protected]

mailto:[email protected]


improvement in the delivery of best practice, NHS Resolution will be making a reduction in the CNST maternity contributions of trusts that are able to demonstrate compliance with the 10 criteria agreed by National Maternity Champions. Trusts who cannot demonstrate full compliance may be eligible for a smaller discount providing that savings are used to take local action towards meeting the criteria.

2.1.1.2. The criterion relevant to training is CNST point 8; evidencing

that 90% of each maternity staff group has attended an in-house multi-professional maternity emergencies training session within the last training year. Training should include fetal monitoring in labour and integrated team-working with relevant simulated emergencies and/or hands on workshops.

2.1.1.3. The training syllabus should be based on current evidence,

national guidelines/recommendations, any relevant local audit findings; risk issues and case review feedback, and include the use of local charts, emergency boxes, algorithms and pro-formas. There should also be feedback on local maternal and neonatal outcomes.

2.1.1.4. Maternity staff attendees should include: obstetricians

(including Consultants, staff grades and trainees); obstetric anaesthetic staff (Consultants and relevant trainees); midwives (including midwifery managers and matrons, community midwives: birth centre midwives and bank midwives; maternity theatre and critical care staff; health care assistants (to be included in the maternity skills drills as a minimum) and other relevant clinical members of the maternity team. PROMPT training, fetal monitoring training and point of care simulation are planned and all relevant staff groups will take responsibility to attend annually to meet CNST standards for their staff group.

2.1.1.5. During the COVID pandemic, the 10 criteria were amended

in line with the evolving situation and updates sent to Trusts. The most current update to Safety Action 8 issued in March 2021 requires Trusts to evidence that the maternity unit staff groups have attended an ‘in-house’ multi-professional maternity emergencies training session since the launch of the MIS year three in December 2019. Training resources will have been provided digitally or in person. The 90% threshold was removed from all safety action 8 requirements with the recommendation that Trusts commit to addressing any shortfall and facilitate local, in-person MDT training (including fetal monitoring) when this is permitted.

2.1.1.6. The Ockenden Report (2020) lists seven Immediate and

Essential Actions to help improve safety in maternity services across England. Essential Action 3 states that “Staff who work together must train together”. Trusts must ensure that


multidisciplinary training and working occurs and must provide evidence of it. This evidence must be externally validated through the LMS, 3 times a year. The PDM submits monthly and quarterly reports of training compliance to the HOM to achieve this.

2.1.1.6.1. Twice daily (day and night through the 7-day

week) consultant-led and present multidisciplinary ward rounds are taking place on Delivery Suite.

2.1.1.6.2. The HOM will notify the PDM of any external funding allocated for the training of maternity staff to ensure it is ring-fenced and used for this purpose only.

2.1.1.6.3. PROMPT, Maternity Update Day, Safeguarding

Level 3, Fetal Monitoring training day and practical mandatory Trust updates have been offered in-person and virtually throughout 2020/21 (Appendix 4).

2.1.1.7. Existing training has been reviewed to ensure fit for purpose

and identify any new training requirements for 2020/21. 2.1.1.8. The 5 days of training ran throughout January and February

2020 but all training ceased between March and May 2020.

2.1.1.9. From June 2020, all staff were able to access online training resources for newborn feeding and Baby Friendly Initiative, antenatal screening, safeguarding children Level 3, healthy pregnancy, suturing, fetal monitoring, bereavement, diabetes in pregnancy and Practice Supervisor and Assessor guidance.

2.1.1.10. A combination of in-house and CPD approved external

provider online resources were used including the e-learning for Healthcare, National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training and Neoventa Education websites.

2.1.1.11. In-person PROMPT training resumed July – October 2020

with social distancing measures and appropriate PPE in place. In addition to practical obstetric multi-professional training, the day incorporated practical moving and handling and adult basic life support training (Appendix 5).

2.1.1.12. To ensure staff are trained to identify the risks and symptoms

of mild to severe perinatal mental illness and to ensure women with Perinatal Mental Health issues are appropriately cared for, the Perinatal Specialist Midwifery Team have developed training which is incorporated into annual mandatory maternity training.


2.1.1.13. Additional specialist midwifery teams have been established

to support women and develop training to support staff including a Women Requiring Extra Nurturing (WREN) team, a Perinatal Mental Health team, a Birth Reflections team and the Heron team providing additional care for black and Asian service users.

2.1.1.14. Birth Reflections and Perinatal Mental Health training have

been incorporated into the online mandatory Maternity Update Day in 2021. Trauma Informed Care training delivered by the WREN team has been offered to all maternity staff.

2.1.1.15. PROMPT training is undertaken at RCHT and at point of

care on the Isles of Scilly on an annual basis. The PROMPT training includes pre-hospital PROMPT for community midwives and paramedics and all Obstetricians, Anaesthetists, Midwives, MSW’s, core ODPs for maternity and core maternity theatre staff are expected to attend with the aim of 90 % attendance to meet CNST. The training includes Obstetric emergencies, neonatal basic life support, learning from Serious Investigations and from Health Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) reports, fetal monitoring in labour and human factors.

2.1.1.16. Human Factors (HF) training provides awareness of the

interactions among humans and their relationship with machines, procedures, the environment and other people. Human Factors are included in PROMPT skills sessions and are included in the point of care simulation debrief. Additional mandatory Human Factors training for all clinical staff was introduced Trustwide between January and March 2021.

2.1.1.17. A monthly rolling SIM programme has been identified as

essential to build on skills developed in PROMPT. The obstetric SIM lead, anaesthetic department, the Trust SIM team, Practice Development Midwife, Clinical Skills Facilitators and clinical teams collaborate to deliver ward based SIMS. These SIMS have continued in clinical areas throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

2.1.1.18. Cannulation competency for both acute and community

midwives is now mandatory. Confirmed competency across both staff groups is between 95-97%. All newly qualified midwives have cannulation competency set as part of their preceptorship programme.

2.1.1.19. Annual update training in PROMPT –CiPP (Care of the

Critically Ill Pregnant Patient) is being co-produced by the


PDM, anaesthetic consultants, Clinical Skills Facilitator Midwives and obstetric consultants for all staff that completed the Enhanced Level 1 Care programme with Plymouth University in 2019.

2.1.1.20. The mandatory Maternity Update Day is regularly reviewed

by the Practice Development Midwife (PDM) to expand specialist specific areas. These are reviewed to address local themes and issues identified, update national guidance, ensure evidence based care and feedback from the Maternity Voices partnership.

2.1.1.21. Midwives are required to complete Resuscitation Council UK

Newborn Life Support (NLS) training every four years. NLS resumed face to face in 2021 but with limited candidate numbers to facilitate social distancing. A need for more midwives to be trained as NLS instructors by completion of the General Instructor Course has been identified to support PROMPT and basic newborn life support training and SIMs. The PDM will continue to work with the NLS faculty to ensure midwives are recommended for Instructor Potential.

2.1.1.22. In line with the Ockenden Report, a Personalised Care Plan

(PCP) has been developed in collaboration with the LMNS, Kernow MVP and RCHT. A training need has been identified for all staff using the PCP. The Personalised Care Plan is intended to be used at every contact with service users to facilitate conversations and informed consent.

2.1.1.23. PCP training will be delivered face to face by the PDM and

MVP to Community Team Leaders and Ward Managers who will then cascade train their teams.

2.1.1.24. Consultants to support midwifery/ MSW teams re

conversations around maternal choice caesarean section.

2.1.2. Specifically targeting community midwife training 2.1.2.1. To specifically target training for obstetric emergencies, in

the community setting, the annual PROMPT day groups community midwives together in a training team with 2 SWASFT ambulance crew to teach obstetric emergencies in community setting. Maternal collapse, eclampsia, obstetric haemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse, newborn basic life support and vaginal breech emergencies are taught using a combination of drills and hands on technique teaching (e.g. for shoulder dystocia) and discussion of human factors within the debrief.

2.1.2.2. Community based SIMS coordinated by Community Team

Leaders take place within the community bases when activity permits. Registers are sent to the PDM. Group SIMS have been postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.


2.1.2.3. In addition, the SIM team/PDM will provide point of care SIM

in the community setting in addition to PROMPT training for Penrice, Central and North team and the Isles of Scilly. This has been postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2.1.2.4. The PDM, Community Matron and Advanced Neonatal

Practitioners have implemented a rolling programme of NLS update training in community bases whilst face to face training on site is suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Training in community based NLS scenarios is delivered by the ANNPs to community midwives and Team Leaders.

2.1.2.5. A community midwife has undertaken PROMPT train the trainer’s course and is now the training link lead for community teams. This role includes planning and undertaking SIM in the community setting and attending community team meetings in the capacity of community link PROMPT trainer to ensure learning from PROMPT is embedded into practice.

2.1.2.6. Training for the use of Misoprostal is embedded in the

monthly PROMPT training for Community Midwives with their Paramedic colleagues and cascade training undertaken through team meetings with team leaders and deputies.

2.1.3. Newly Qualified Midwives, Trust Preceptorship and Staff New to

the Trust 2.1.3.1. To ensure new staff receive the support they need to

2.1.5. Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle v2 (SBLCBv2) 2.1.5.1. Smoking cessation training is included in the annual

mandatory maternity update training.

2.1.5.2. Growth Assessment Protocol (GAP) was implemented at RCHT maternity as part of our commitment to reducing


stillbirth. Compliance with GAP has reduced. The PDM is in contact with the Perinatal Institute to provide a register of compliant staff and develop a training plan for those that require updating.

2.1.5.3. Electronic fetal monitoring training was identified as a training

need with the introduction of ST analysis. All staff that care for women in labour are required to undertake an annual training and competency assessment on cardiotocograph (CTG) interpretation and use of intermittent auscultation.

2.1.5.3.1. No member of staff should provide intrapartum

care without evidence of training and competence within the previous year.

completed by all MSW new starters as part of the five week supernumerary orientation plan.

2.1.10.5. Training has been delivered to all community based MSWs

after a training need was identified to support continuity of carer. Community MSWs attended a full day of training on caesarean wound care, neonatal jaundice, sepsis, weighing babies and taking and recording maternal observations.

2.1.11. Additional Training

2.1.11.1. Neonatal Infection Screening The PDM, Clinical Skills Facilitators, Delivery Suite Ward Manager and Neonatal Consultants collaborated to design and introduce an updated neonatal infection screening pathway to risk assess neonates requiring IV antibiotics within one hour of delivery enabling mothers and babies to remain together on Delivery Suite. 2.1.11.1.1. A training need was identified for the new

pathway and training in the new clinical checklists, SOP, Patient Group Directives and IM administration of antibiotics to neonates was cascaded to all Delivery Suite core staff.

2.1.11.1.2. The Clinical Skills Facilitators provided tea-

trolley and 1:1 training for staff. Regular audits of administration of IV antibiotics within one hour were undertaken by the Consultant Neonatologist with excellent results. Neonatal infection screening training will be extended to Wheal Rose during 2021.

2.1.11.2. PERIPrem Project

2.1.11.2.1. Newborn brain injury rates include preterm and term cases. To date, a large amount of work has focused only on term babies. PERIPRem is a care bundle of 11 interventions for both the mother and preterm baby (less than 34 weeks)


that will, when delivered by the perinatal team, optimise neonatal outcomes.

2.1.11.2.2. The project is aimed at proactively managing

the risk of brain injury and mortality in preterm babies and combines elements of the BAPM Toolkit, MatNeoSIP Bundle, Saving Babies’ Lives V2 and the Maternity Incentive Scheme (CNST).

2.1.11.2.3. The PERIPrem Bundle has been developed

through the creation of a cross organisational partnership work. The bundle consists of eleven elements, each identified as central to reducing brain injury and mortality in extreme preterm (<27 weeks) and preterm (<34 weeks) birth.

2.1.11.2.4. Training and awareness of all the bundle

elements and the changes in practise needed to achieve these elements has been facilitated by the Fetal Monitoring Specialist Midwife for the full perinatal multidisciplinary team since September 2020 and remains ongoing.

2.1.11.3. Postnatal care for community MSWs

Training has been delivered to all community based MSWs after a training need was identified to support continuity of carer. Community MSWs attended a full day of training on caesarean wound care, neonatal jaundice, sepsis, weighing babies and taking and recording maternal observations.

2.1.11.6. ROTEM

The PDM and Anaesthetic Specialist Trainee have collaborated to develop training for the Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) machine on Delivery Suite. This was planned to be delivered during 2020 but has been


postponed due to COVID. ROTEM training will be carried over to 2021.

2.1.11.7. Nasogastric tubes A training need for siting, care of and feeding via nasogastric tubes has been identified for student midwives, Transitional Care and Delivery Suite staff. The PDM and Clinical Skills Facilitator midwives are collaborating with the University of Plymouth, Wheal Fortune Ward Manager and Neonatal Team to implement a new training programme consisting of online learning and observed clinical competency.

2.1.11.8. Following a series of falls in Maternity, Patient Safety has

identified a training need for staff caring for women who are mobilising after an epidural. The Clinical Skills Facilitator Midwives, PDM, Anaesthetic Consultant and Improvement Practitioner for Falls, Dementia and Delirium have prepared online learning and developed a proforma for use prior to women mobilising post-epidural.

2.1.11.9. Inclusivity

Improving inclusivity within maternity is an important focus and training needs have been identified in this area. An inclusivity training agenda will be developed by the PDM in collaboration with the MDT senior management team, the LMNS and Kernow Maternity Voices Partnership throughout 2021.

2.1.11.10. Fit testing

After receiving appropriate training, the PDM and Clinical Skills Facilitators undertook and recorded outcomes for FFP3 mask fit testing for new and existing maternity staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2021 fit testing has been resumed centrally by Trust Health and Safety. Fit testing can be booked by calling x2471 or 07788 380523.

2.1.11.11. Fluid balance

Following an audit report, a training need around fluid balance chart completion and calculation has been identified. The PDM, Audit Midwife and Clinical Skills Facilitator Midwives have created an updated fluid balance chart and developed a training programme for staff that will include ‘tea-trolley’ training in clinical areas with supplemental online training as needed.

2.2. Definitions / Glossary

2.2.1. Mandatory training is defined as training requirement that has been determined by the Trust for staff to undertake. This training ensures that staff are able to undertake their duties safely and efficiently. It minimises risk and ensures that external standards are met. Mandatory training requirements are not the same for each staff member and may relate to a specific team or professional group.

2.2.2. Statutory training – can be defined as training that the Trust is legally required to provide as defined in law or where a statutory body has instructed organisations to provide training on the basis of legislation.

2.3. Booking attendance for mandatory and statutory training

Staff are allocated to a training week and are responsible for booking their own book attendance on mandatory and statutory training through their ESR account for day one, three, four and five. A user guide can be accessed via: http://intra.cornwall.nhs.uk/Intranet/AZServices/E/ElectronicStaffRecord/ESR.aspx. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Team Leaders and Ward Managers have allocated study leave to complete online mandatory training.

Midwifery specific mandatory training provision is co-ordinated by the PDM, Training Faculty and Learning and Development Department. Delivery of training may be undertaken by a range of staff within the Trust. This ensures that subjects are taught by experts where necessary. This section gives a detailed overview of the strategic and operational roles responsible for the development, management and implementation of the policy. It includes details of the groups and committees, as well as individual responsibility.

2.8.1. Head of Midwifery (HOM)

The Head of Midwifery will ensure that the training needs analysis is implemented. Receive and act upon any information from the maternity Patient Safety forum in relation to problems with attendance at mandatory training days.

Following the Training in PROMPT, feedback forms are reviewed to drive the training program to include training identified via Patient Safety or driven by national excellence in practice. The faculty ensures training is nationally benchmarked, evidence-based, and relevant to the needs of the service and is delivered in a consistent and informative manner. Any training needs identified by the Patient safety Meeting and Maternity Forum will be discussed at the PROMPT faculty meetings for example: results from audits, learning from incidents, complaints, claims and information from any other sources.

2.8.5. Maternity Forum

The Maternity Forum is the committee responsible for promoting high quality, safe care within maternity services. The training programme will be developed by the maternity training faculty at the end of each year and received by the Maternity Forum. Throughout the year the MF will identify any training needs that arise from audits, incidents, complaints and claims, an action plan will be developed, for the inclusion in the training programme. On a quarterly basis the PDM will report to the Maternity Forum on compliance with midwives training and any problems with training delivery.

2.8.6. Practice Development Midwife (PDM)

The PDM has the responsibility for the planning and coordinating of the education and training sessions for post-registration midwives to meet the strategic aims of the Maternity Service and in line with key national reports. This role consists of developing the content for the training sessions as identified in relation to the needs of the maternity service in the community and hospital environment. The PDM will also provide support for new midwives or midwives wishing to consolidate a new skill, in the clinical setting. The PDM chairs the Maternity Guidelines Group.

Team leaders/ward managers Team leaders are responsible for ensuring that their team is allocated to training and that MAPS reflects each staff member’s attendance at the mandatory training, so that no clinical commitments are allocated. Community team leaders book their staff via ESR for training. Non-attendance at a mandatory training session, due to unexpected clinical need, must be agreed through the Matron. Team leaders will be responsible for investigating non-attendance at training and will ensure attendance at the next available session.

2.8.10. Fetal monitoring Specialist midwife The role involves developing robust systems of fetal monitoring; this includes consistent training for all staff providing intrapartum care in the classification of CTG and systematic assessment of fetal physiology in response to intrapartum stresses and hypoxia (including competency assessment).
