Inclusion Criteria

The study population will consist of the 15 Scottish maternity units with more than 1000 births per year. Participating units which have not previously undertaken PROMPT training (n=12) will be randomised and be part of the main analysis.

The three units which have already undertaken PROMPT training will not be randomised but will be included in complementary analyses. Their inclusion will allow us to assess the intervention effect at country scale, whilst giving us insight into the long-term sustainability of the intervention effect.

Exclusion Criteria

Scottish maternity units or midwifery units with less than 1000 births per year are ineligible for recruitment
