Abstract: | An effective working relationship between obstetricians and anaesthetists is crucial for patient safety in maternity care. Anaesthetists' skills and scope of clinical practice complement those of obstetricians, particularly during obstetric emergencies. Anaesthetists also bring expertise in resuscitation, critical care, and a training programme that is underpinned by non-technical as well as technical skills. Through training together, obstetricians and anaesthetists can help plug one another's knowledge gaps, identify each other's blind spots, aid mutual decision-making, and share relevant national guidance between specialties. Training also aids the development of a shared mental model, which contributes to improved teamwork. To be effective, this training should involve the whole team, be conducted in-house, be used to tackle local as well as national priorities, and be repeated regularly. |
