Editorial Reviews

"It's the only textbook you will need for MRCOG Part 2 Exam preparation" - Five Stars, The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, (Volume 18, Issue 4)

"...this is an excellent general all round obstetrics and gynaecology textbook for a large number of people...In such a vast topic, the editors have done an excellent job of breaking down the information into relatively short and easily readable, as well as accessible chapters...This is an impressive general all round textbook which covers its topic in excellent detail which will appeal to both the specialist in training as well as a GP and other interested healthcare professionals. It may be too detailed for the undergraduate though it could be a useful reference source in that capacity. Considering the quality of the book and the bundling of the digital products, this represents very good value for money."- Dr Harry Brown, July 2016

"This is a proper modern textbook combining the best of the traditional printed medium but accompanied by digital cousins bundled within the purchase price, more on this later… This is an impressive general all round textbook which covers it’s topic in excellent detail which will appeal to both the specialist in training as well as a GP and other interested healthcare professionals." – Harry Brown, Glycosmedia
