Prioritization on the labour suite

The ability to successfully prioritize the workload on a labour suite is an essential skill for a trainee Obstetrician to develop. To successfully achieve this, the trainee must be able to communicate effectively and work within a multidisciplinary team of obstetricians, anaesthetists and midwives who are all vital members of the labour suite team. It also requires a trainee to develop leadership skills and be able to delegate work appropriately.
