Table 4 Table 3 distribution of the percentages of the level of
self-reported staff confidence who took part in the study. The table
shows the staff divided by role (Doctor or midwives) and subdivide by
grading within the role. Band-5, Midwife within the preceptorship
program usually 1-2 years post qualification. Band-6, experience
midwives who works autonomously, usually 2 to 6 years post
qualification. Band-7 midwife very senior midwife, usually <7
years post qualification and acting as co-ordinator or specialist
midwife. Junior doctor usually 3 years post qualification. Senior doctor
usually 4-8 years post qualification. Consultant >9-10 post
qualification. Midwife wit

with their relevant clinical history that has been used in the
study.
Figure-2: Radial graph that represents the background knowledge
distribution of all doctors and all midwives. The staff were asked to
rank from 1-5 which source of knowledge helped them most in analysing
each CTG. The options given were: 1) uses of current guidelines, 2) own
knowledge in fetal physiology, 3) previous experience, 4) opinion of
someone more senior and 5) similar case(s) previously discussed during a
CTG meeting/training.
Figure-3: Radial graph that represents the background knowledge
distribution of all midwives clustered by midwifery banding. The staff
were asked to rank from 1-5 which source of knowledge helped them most
in analysing each CTG. The options given were: 1) uses of current
guidelines, 2) own knowledge in fetal physiology, 3) previous
experience, 4) opinion of someone more senior and 5) similar case(s)
previously discussed during a CTG meeting/training.

Figure-5: Pie-Chart illustrating the proportional distribution
of the level of confidence of the total staff taking part in the study.
The staff were asked to rank the level of confidence over 7 possible
points from ‘not confident at all’ to ‘very confident’. The point were
clustered post-hoc for analytical purposes.
