This full-day interactive workshop brings together representatives from maternity units across AOFOG member nations to work with real-world data and explore practical ways to use standardised outcome measures to improve care.
Registration Fee: $550 inc GST for local, and $450 inc GST for international attendees.
Participating units will be invited to submit data in advance. Dr Michael Robson will select a representative sample from across the region for focused review during the workshop. Each selected dataset will be presented anonymously, then analysed in an interactive format with questions directed to the submitting unit to provide context, clarify practices, and highlight challenges.
Facilitated group exercises will give participants the chance to work directly with anonymised data — identifying patterns, comparing approaches, and shaping strategies for improvement. The sessions will cover both interpreting the data and applying it in practice, with a focus on:
- Timely, transparent access to information for both clinicians and mothers
- Using the Robson Ten Group Classification System (TGCS) as a common, globally recognised structure for comparison
- Building awareness and training to strengthen TGCS as a shared language
Through this approach, participants will learn how consistent, comparable data can be used not only to understand variation in outcomes but also to inform local, regional, and national quality improvement initiatives.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate practical methods for applying standardised outcome measures in clinical audit and data analysis.
- Compare and contrast maternity care outcomes across diverse contexts in the AOFOG region.
- Identify shared challenges and opportunities for collaborative improvement.
- Build confidence in using data to design, implement, and evaluate change.
