Trainee doctors, nurses and midwives are essential and fluid members of the perinatal team. They are frontline staff who contribute to patient care and deliver improvement interventions. They rotate through hospitals and departments, and this can provide valuable insight, through comparison, about the culture of a perinatal team.

Training surveys are an important tool in assessing the quality of postgraduate medical education and training. Themes of surveys focus on the learning environment, culture, leadership and supporting trainees’ wellbeing. There are direct questions on bullying and discrimination. These results can give valuable insights into perinatal team culture. Local training and placement surveys can provide local, impartial and more regular surveillance of quality training and safety culture.
