Neonatal resuscitation, a time-critical intervention for infants with perinatal asphyxia, follows an evidence-informed algorithm to stabilise newborns at birth.1 These resuscitations are often led by junior clinicians, exposing them to emotionally charged emergency situations. Debriefing can support both clinical learning and emotional processing, and structured tools, such as STOP5, are used in other specialties. However, little is known about junior doctors’ debriefing experiences in newborn care, including the prevalence, utilisation and nature of current practices.2
