Unofficial Guide to Obstetrics and Gynaecology

"Great for revision and with easy referencing. It has case studies to make it come alive and great simple diagrams. All topics are well covered, unlike other resources in the area. It encourages an interest in O&G at undergraduate level and makes a complex and often intimidating speciality seem varied, accessible and appealing. Ideal for undergraduates embarking on their career choices but useful for the trainee in our specialty." Professor Andrew Shennan OBE, Professor of Obstetrics, Kings College London, UK; "This series has hit on an excellent format: succinct writing, good illustrations, excellent text layout and self-test questions. The use of junior authors makes the text relevant and accessible, whilst constant reference to national and international guidelines ensures that it authoritative. I highly recommend it." Professor Andrew Weeks, Professor of International Maternal Health Women's and Children's Health, University of Liverpool, UK; "The perfect guide to unpack the complexity of O&G and navigate the clinical environment. This book will help bring the joy back to student attachments, with no nonsense explanation and clarity" Helen Bickerstaff, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education, Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist, Kings College London, UK; "A strength of this book is the integration of anatomy, physiology, practical skills, imaging, clinical management and therapeutics in one place, allowing you to gain a full understanding of each condition. It is suited to those who want a summary resource to thoroughly revise O&G for medical school finals, but equally has further detail for those who have a specific interest in the topic. The skills sections of the book guide you through obstetric palpation, demystify CTG interpretation and provide guidance on how to professionally and sensitively perform pelvic examination. The content of the practical skills components provides a clear structure and step-by-step guide to ensure precise and efficient examinations, suitable for the time constraints and pressure of OSCEs. All that's left to do is practice!" Chloe Knox, President of Brighton and Sussex Medical School Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society, UK; "This book makes a significant contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate learning and understanding of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Katherine Lattey was an excellent student at BSMS and early in her training became involved in women's health. It is a real pleasure to see her commitment and hard work reflected in the publication of a contemporary textbook." Dr Andrew N J Fish, Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer, Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK; "A brilliant book offering an extensive depth and breadth of information."
