VACCA - Thursday 21 May 2026
The Vacca Steps Skills Training Programme is a comprehensive 2-part course running over 11 hours, designed to equip clinicians with the essential knowledge and hands-on skills to perform a safe vacuum-assisted delivery. The programme is structured to build theoretical understanding and practical competence over two distinct courses, rather than a single workshop. Participants will develop practical skills using specialized medical manikins under the guidance of a VAD expert, enhancing delivery success and reducing risks for both mother and baby. Participants undergo a skills assessment at the end of the second course. Our low trainer-to-participant ratios ensure enhanced learning by providing dedicated One-to-One Practical Tuition time.

Part 1: The Fundamentals of Safe Vacuum Delivery | Online | 7 hours
Part 2: The Vacca Steps Skills Workshop | Face to Face | 4 hours
Session times: 8:30am - 12:30pm or 1pm - 5pm. Lunch will be provided to everyone from 12:30pm - 1pm.
