Review This book makes a significant contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate learning and understanding of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Katherine Lattey was an excellent student at BSMS and early in her training became involved in women's health. It is a real pleasure to see her commitment and hard work reflected in the publication of a contemporary textbook. (Andrew Fish, Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer, Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK)The perfect guide to unpack the complexity of O&G and navigate the clinical environment. This book will help bring the joy back to student attachments, with no nonsense explanation and clarity. (Helen Bickerstaff, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education, Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist, Kings College London, UK)A strength of this book is the integration of anatomy, physiology, practical skills, imaging, clinical management and therapeutics in one place, allowing you to gain a full understanding of each condition. It is suited to those who want a summary resource to thoroughly revise O&G for medical school finals, but equally has further detail for those who have a specific interest in the topic. The skills sections of the book guide you through obstetric palpation, demystify CTG interpretation and provide guidance on how to professionally and sensitively perform pelvic examination. The content of the practical skills components provides a clear structure and step-by-step guide to ensure precise and efficient examinations, suitable for the time constraints and pressure of OSCEs. All that's left to do is practice! (Chloe Knox, President of Brighton and Sussex Medical School Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society, UK)This series has hit on an excellent format: succinct writing, good illustrations, excellent text layout and self-test questions. The use of junior authors makes the text relevant and accessible, whilst constant reference to national and international guidelines ensures that it authoritative. I highly recommend it. (Andrew Weeks, Professor of International Maternal Health Care. University of Liverpool.)A brilliant book offering an extensive depth and breadth of information, whilst making learning fun. (Sunita Sharma, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust)I liked this book. A lot. Great for revision and with easy referencing. It has case studies to make it come alive and great simple diagrams. All topics are well covered, unlike other resources in the area. It encourages an interest in O&G at undergraduate level and makes a complex and often intimidating speciality seem varied, accessible and appealing. Ideal for undergraduates embarking on their career choices but useful for the trainee in our specialty. (Andrew Shennan OBE, Professor of Obstetrics. Department of Women and Children’s Health, School of Life Course Sciences, FoLSM, Kings College London.)

Zeshan Qureshi is a Paediatrician based at Great Ormond Street and the Institute of Child Health. He graduated with distinction from the University of Southampton, and has published and presented research work extensively and internationally in the fields of pharmacology and medical education. Whilst working in Edinburgh he was part of the leadership team developing a near peer teaching programme, where by junior doctors, throughout south east scotland, were both trained to teach, and delivered teaching across every hospital in the area. This book is an extension of this philosophy: that junior doctors and fresh graduates know how to express complex ideas in order for it to be easily understood from a students perspective. That junior doctors can teach, and write in a complimentary way to senior doctors: one that is friendly and fun, easy to read and relevant to both exams, and the day to day to life of junior doctors.
