154 Obstetrics in the ANZCA final exam — Part 2
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
Join Sarah & Declan as we continue our series covering the ANZCA final exam curriculum for obstetrics across four episodes. This second episode covers complications in labour and delivery including management of postpartum haemorrhage. We hope this resource will be helpful for everyone, but especially those of our trainees preparing for the final exam. To get the most out of it, we suggest regularly pausing the podcast to answer each question yourself, before listening to our answers. Of course there is much more detail expected in the exam, but if you can answer all these questions confidently, we think you’ll have a great chance. If you find this podcast helpful, or have suggestions for future episodes in this series, please send us an email to let us know.
