Conversly,

We had a woman arrive with bottom in the air, and a cord prolaspe
suspected.. really well managed. These ambo's saved that babies life.

[ozmidwifery] Re:training of Ambo's

[Larissa & Tim]

Hi Megan,
I know the case you are talking about - have met R twice. Don't know much
about the education but I do think this needs following up in order to
prevent this happening to someone else. They might not have such a good
outcome - 5 minutes is 5 minutes too many in the case of cord prolapse.
As for nationally - I have a relative in QLD who is an AO - have asked her
what  she is taught. Hopefully she'll get back to me soon.
Let me know if I can help,
hugs, Larissa
