What learners are saying

"I found the course particularly interesting in how it explained the anaesthetic management of VBAC in a clear and practical way. The discussion on the use of neuraxial analgesia and its safety in VBAC patients was very insightful, as it challenged some common misconceptions and highlighted its benefits in labour management."

Anaesthesiologist, Somalia
"The most interesting aspect of this course was the explanation of anaesthetic management during VBAC. I particularly found the use of epidural analgesia in labour very interesting, as it provides pain relief and allows quick conversion to general anaesthesia in case of emergency."
Undergraduate Gynaecologist, Rwanda
"The most interesting parts of the course were the intrapartal recommendations and management parts."
