Basic Fetal Monitoring Course

What will I learn?

Improve your medical skills with our Basic Fetal Monitoring Course (Zambia), created for healthcare workers who want to be experts at analysing a baby's heart rate before birth. You'll learn all about how the heart rate changes (variability), speeds up (accelerations), and slows down (decelerations), and how to understand this important information to make good decisions about patient care. You'll get hands-on skills in spotting normal and abnormal heart rate patterns, sharing what you find, and suggesting what to do next. This short, but excellent course will help you to give better care to your patients with confidence and accuracy.
