The PROMPT Course Manual (4th Edition) is the training manual behind PROMPT — PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training — the obstetric emergencies programme used by maternity units around the world.
What makes PROMPT different is that it trains the whole team together: obstetricians, midwives, anaesthetists and maternity support staff, in their own unit, on the drills they will actually run. The manual is the written half of that. Each emergency is set out with the evidence, the clinical steps and an algorithm that covers both the medicine and the teamwork around it.
Produced by the PROMPT Maternity Foundation and published by Cambridge University Press, this fourth edition runs to 23 chapters.
