Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology

The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward summary of the knowl- edge required for examinations in specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Part Two of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Ob- stetricians and Gynaecologists would be a good example. The volume is intended as a companion to the highly successful Basic Sciences for Ob- stetrics and Gynaecology which covers the knowledge required for pre- liminary examinations. Increasingly, examinations of all types are based on multiple choice ques- tions (MCQ) or structured answer questions (SAQ). No apology is made for the fact that the present book addresses the sort of "e;fact"e; which lends itself to testing by this approach. Thus, there is little discussion of specula- tive or contentious areas, no account of present or future research, and no references. Numerous excellent books are available which cover these top- ics in a much fuller and more discursive manner, and the present volume does not seek to emulate them.
