Objective: To determine whether the introduction of Obstetrics Emergency Training in line with the recommendations of the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) was associated with a reduction in perinatal asphyxia and neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE).Design: A retrospective cohort observational study.Setting: A tertiary referral maternity unit in a teaching hospital.Population: Term, cephalic presenting, singleton infants born at Southmead Hospital between 1998 and 2003 were identified; those born by elective Caesarean sections were excluded.Method: Five-minute Apgar scores were reviewed. Infants that developed HIE were prospectively identified throughout this period. The study compared the period 'pre-training' (1998-1999), with the period 'post-training' (2001-2003).Main outcome measure: Five-minute Apgar scores and HIE.Results: Infants (19,460) were included. Infants born with 5-minute Apgar scores of
