Selection Process

When selecting UK faculty for our EOC&NC courses we require an equal balance of experienced and new facilitators. As the faculty for 2014 are very small teams- the usual requirement is for 1 new facilitator accompanying 1 experienced facilitator. We also try and have a mix of specialities were possible (midwives, obs/gyn, anaesthetics, other). This is done to ensure that you have the best possible experience whilst in country.

An ‘experienced facilitator’ is someone who has attended any EOC&NC course in any country abroad for us, and ‘new facilitator’ is someone who has not yet facilitated a course abroad.
