The e-learning is arranged into six sessions – which you can complete in any order:

• The physiology of pregnancy


• Medical disorders complicating pregnancy


• Prescribing safely in pregnancy


• Clinical assessment of the pregnant patient


• Communication and co-ordination of care for the complex obstetric patient
