Dear Neil
Unfortunately the Perinatal Education Trust has been closed. All the self-directed training course books and more are now available free on the open access website https://bettercare.co.za/learn About 11 000 people access the site monthly from many under resourced countries. I hope they can use the material in their own education projects.
For your interest I have attached a review article on our newborn care course book from 2010 [*]
