Introduction :
All student midwives received centralized training in the school of midwifery, where the midwifery knowledge and theory can be most acquired. There is always gap between knowledge and practice, student midwives are lack of confidence to handle practical situation especially emergency condition. Besides, different culture, practical techniques and different clinical environment between hospitals also confuse the student midwives. Neonatal resuscitation, episiotomy suturing and management of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia are the practical situation that student midwives have fewer opportunities to come across. Clinical Workshop provides a platform to clarify individual queries and opportunities for hands-on practice in different clinical situation.
Objectives :
1)To consolidate student midwives’ knowledge
2)To enhance their practical skills on neonatal resuscitation, episiotomy suturing and drug preparation for pre-eclampsia/eclampsia.
3)To enhance the confidence of student midwives in clinical situation.
