"This is an up-to-date evidence-based textbook for junior obstetricians and gynaecologists. It contains all the material relevant to everyday practice and the new RCOG curriculum. It has been written and edited by inspiring teams that combine juniors, new and established consultants working in a range of settings and many of the UK's top experts in obstetrics and gynaecology. Step-by-step descriptions and pictures of practical procedures help trainees integrate their clinical and drills-and-skills teaching with the theoritical basis of the vital, life-saving and emergency aspects of this specialty. The text covers the basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes required before taking advanced modules or training in the subspecialty areas of obstetrics and gynaecology."--Publisher's description.
