Trade ReviewThe 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. * Dr Harry Brown, Geriatric Medicine *
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. * BMA Book Awards 2014. Highly Commended *
This is a solid contribution for UK obstetricians/gynecologists * Doody's Notes *
