Midwife Training

Many of the midwives performing scans for Sono-breech have received training especially for the study. The training varies from site to site, but to date 148 midwives from nine participating hospitals have attended an ultrasound simulation training session at Imperial College London.

This training session is run by Professor Lees and some of the research fellows and includes both an ultrasound theory presentation and a practical session with the ultrasound simulator. Midwives then practice their skills on patients before being signed off as competent to participate in the study.
