Basic Sciences for Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Basic Sciences for Obstetrics and Gynaecology has become the standard

revision aid for students preparing for examinations in obstetrics and

gynaecology, particularly those candidates for the MRCOG Part I. A wealth

of information is presented in a concise, didactic format, focusing on

those facts that are generally considered to be neither contentious nor

speculative.

The fifth edition has been substantially updated to reflect the current

understanding of the basic sciences underpinning the practice of

obstetrics and gynaecology. This book will also be of value to

professionals wishing to refresh their basic scientific knowledge.
