Training in neonatal resuscitation: the views of junior paediatricians

Senior house officers and registrars in one region were asked whether they received any training in neonatal resuscitation in this region and what they thought of it. Training in neonatal resuscitation is variable and often falls short of the guidelines of the Royal College of Physicians of London. The majority of the respondents were dissatisfied with the extent and the level of supervision of their training. The structure and content of training in this subject needs to be reviewed.
