Abstract:Fifteen years ago a survey of Victorian public maternity services showed that the majority of services provided no fetal surveillance education to their staff and that only one in ten undertook any sort of assessment of staff knowledge. Today, all hospitals, public and private, provide training and all public hospitals require their midwifery and medical staff to undertake regular assessment of knowledge. The requirements of specialist obstetricians in private practice remain variable.
