The indispensable, concise, and practical guide to all aspects of obstetric and gynaecological medical care, diagnosis, and management, a must-have resource for all specialist trainees, junior doctors, and students, as well as a valuable aide memoire for experienced clinicians.

The book itself is superb value for money, considering its scope of coverage and general excellence and if someone thinks they will be a regular user then I am sure they will like this book. It maintains the excellence of the other members of the Oxford Medical Handbooks series and users who are familiar with other books in the series, will know what to expect.

Review from previous edition Very reader-friendly and the style is very easy to absorb for a junior doctor especially if new to O&G... Its strength is that it is user-friendly and good core clinical knowledge and practice is covered for junior doctors.

This is a solid contribution for UK obstetricians/gynecologists
