Quick Reference Handbook for Obstetric Emergencies (Obs QRH)

02 May 2024

Announcing the release of the Quick Reference Handbook for Obstetric Emergencies (Obs QRH) in February 2024. This handbook has been developed in partnership with OAA and BAPM and endorsed by BMFMS, BICS, RCUK, AoA, RCOA, COPD, MOMS and supported by RCM. 

The Obs QRH is a collection of 20 action card guides for medical and resuscitation emergencies in hospitals. These guides are intended to help the multidisciplinary teams caring for birthing people and their babies. The aim of the handbook is to ensure a co-ordinated, structured and all-encompassing response to an emergency, at a time when care givers may be unfamiliar with other team members and have a high cognitive load. 

Visit the website, to download the handbook for free and to see the guide to implementation of the handbook in your hospital.
