eng	The use of simulation training emergencies in midwifery	Background: At present, the use of simulation in midwifery is used only marginally in the Czech Republic, during pre-registration training for midwives. In general, there are no clear concrete criteria and requirements for continuous professional development in the Czech Republic. As for study days for midwives, simulations are very rarely used. Aim: The aim was to use simulated situations during the pre-registration of midwives, but primarily in continuous professional development. Project: The authors currently use simulation training for pre-registration midwifery students in the following obstetric acute conditions: postpartum hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia and neonatal resuscitation. At present, regular mandatory trainings have been created for midwives and other health professionals at the cooperating obstetrics and gynaecology department. Every midwife regularly attends a seminar once a year in the form of model situations focused on shoulder dystocia with subsequent newborn resuscitation and postpartum haemorrhage. These seminars are linked to the acquisition of key competencies for midwives and the performance of their profession in the full range of competencies. Discussion: The use of this form of education helps to achieve learning outcomes and brings good results in lifelong learning, which verifies and enhances the knowledge and skills of midwives. It helps participants to improve their communication skills in the team setting and points to the importance of the roles in the team, which leads to safe and effective management of obstetric emergencies. Self-reflection is supported by feedback from the group participants as well as the facilitators. Key Message: Using simulation lessons to keep midwifery knowledge and skills at the required level is one of the most effective teaching techniques. This method is used in many developed countries around the world.	further professional development; simulation; lifelong learning in midwifery
