While most women in the city are under the care of a specialist Obstetrician and midwives during their pregnancy, Australian women living in rural communities rely on midwives for normal births and GPs with advanced obstetric skills (Rural Generalist - GP Obstetricians) to provide backup and operative emergency care for birthing complications. It is therefore essential that they are equipped with contemporary knowledge and the necessary skills required to manage a number of situations they may face during care of a obstetric patient.
