The Unofficial Guide to Obstetrics and Gynaecology is unique as a textbook that is written based on national and international guidelines. In a subject topic that includes a lot of “grey areas” this is of paramount importance for undergraduates and postgraduates who are studying and working on the wards. Knowledge is present is succinct topic summaries that are then tested and expanded upon in more than 300 multiple choice questions with fully explained answers. More than 100 colour images and illustrations and clinical cases bring the topics to life. The book has been written by junior doctors therefore the content is engaging and always understandable. The content has then been checked by senior clinicians ensuring that it is reliable and up-to-date.
