Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An intrapartum fetal monitoring training programme (on intermittent auscultation and cardiotocography) will be delivered at Government Medical College (GMC) to all relevant staff. This quality improvement project and training evaluation aims to assess and evaluate the impact of this training. This will allow the investigators to understand if it is feasible and acceptable to staff, increases knowledge and improves patient outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

As part of Misoprostol or Oxytocin for Labour Induction (MOLI) randomised controlled trial (RCT) (CTRI no. NCT03749902), Government Medical College (GMC) plans to increase the number of cardiotocography (CTG) machines available on labour ward and provide a United Kingdom (UK) based obstetrician to deliver training on cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation in order to improve fetal monitoring for this high risk population.

An intrapartum fetal monitoring training programme (on intermittent auscultation and cardiotocography) will be delivered at Government Medical College (GMC) to all relevant staff. This quality improvement project and training evaluation aims to assess and evaluate the impact of this training. This will allow the investigators to understand if it is feasible and acceptable to staff, increases knowledge and improves patient outcomes. It will be done through staff questionnaires, pre-and-post test scores and by examining the effects on maternal and perinatal outcomes using Kirkpatrick's training evaluation.

The whole project aims:

* To understand current practice and maternal and perinatal outcomes in Government Medical College (GMC)
* To improve intrapartum fetal monitoring with intermittent auscultation and cardiotocography (CTG)
* To improve perinatal morbidity and mortality rates
* To reduce caesarean section rates for presumed fetal compromise
