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.

"I have purchased three of your books: Paediatics, Obstetrics &
Gynaecology, and Haematology. I have found the story-telling style
and the level of detail contained in the cases to be balanced
nicely so that it retains a realism that other case books lack and
that reader remains engaged in the outcome of the investigations
and the end-point of the case. All in all, these series make for
interesting and entertaining reads which ultimately renders them an
excellent learning tool." - Medical Student,Trinity
College Dublin
"I think that junior doctors and surgical care practitioners
will find this to be a useful reference source. Junior doctors will
particularly appreciate the book for revision purposes.
Perioperative educationalists will gain some benefit from reading
as will any practitioner working in obstetrics and gynaecology that
wishes to understand more about the specialty than what is
presented in front of them on a daily basis." - Journal of
Perioperative Practice, 1 February 2011
"This volume provides concise coverage of a range of relevant
clinical scenarios, with logical explanations along the way. It
does not seek to replace topic or system-based texts, but
represents good value for money as a learning adjunct, particularly
for newcomers to the specialty." - The Obstetrician &
Gynaecologist, 2010
