Dewhurst's Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

This time honoured classic has been re-built completely, after six editions the editor has decided that a radical revision is necessary. The new edition has been developed as a result of intensive consultation with trainees in OBGYN as to what they want, what they need and how they learn. The book is organised into two halves; obstetrics and gynaecology. Within each half the chapters are structured into sections. Within each chapter there is still more structure with the use of pedagogic features such as boxes, highlights and key points for the first time. This text is recommended reading for Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology MRCOG examination.
