About the course
This course is part of the RCOG Core Knowledge series.
Assessment of progress in labour is a vital skill to acquire and is an integral part of managing a woman in her labour.

When you have completed this course, you will be able to:
- recognise dysfunctional labour when reviewing partograms
- recognise the potential causes for dysfunctional labour
- have a knowledge of management and counselling regarding vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC).
