The FSEP has a range of programs to suit the needs and resources of all Australian and New Zealand medical institutions offering intrapartum and antenatal care. Please contact the FSEP administrator for more information about running a FSEP education session that can meet your CTG educational needs.
The full program
The full program runs for 7 hours and forms a solid foundation of knowledge for all medical and midwifery professionals. The full program includes discussion time and is carefully structured to cumulatively build understanding. Participants in the full program also complete the FSEP assessment at the end of the session. The program comprehensively covers the following topics:
- Fetal physiology
- The normal CTG
- The abnormal CTG
- Interpretation
- Management
- Maternal monitoring
- The importance of the complete clinical picture
- Case-study workshop
The refresher program
We have designed a time efficient refresher program as an update for professionals who have previously completed the full program, and are looking to brush up their knowledge six to twelve months later. The refresher program runs for 4 hours and revises the fundamental concepts of the full program, expands on CTG interpretation and is an opportunity for additional case-study discussion. Participants in the refresher program also complete the FSEP assessment at the end of the session.
The university program
The FSEP is a curriculum component of several midwifery undergraduate and postgraduate midwifery courses in Australian universities. Our university program runs for 3.5 hours. It introduces the CTG and fetal surveillance, ensuring students develop a strong understanding of fetal monitoring before entering the workforce.
Videoconferencing
The FSEP also offers the refresher program via videoconference. This is a great way for small rural hospitals to access the FSEP without having to organise a face-to-face workshop for a small audience.
