Overview

Featuring a range of commonly encountered and important conditions in women’s health, Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered allows the reader to understand normal reproductive physiology and anatomy in the context of clinical practice. It highlights aspects of good practice which in real life are considered beyond the presenting symptom.

This unique case-based approach allows the reader to progress through each stage, gaining an understanding of the rationale for investigation and management and to consider other important aspects for holistic care.

Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered is ideal for medical students and junior doctors, obstetrics and gynaecology trainees, midwives and nurse practitioners.
