This volume of practise true/false MCQs and short answer questions is intended to be used by the trainee obstetrician and gynaecologist as a self-assessment aid throughout training and during revision for the MRCOG examination, in particular Part 2. Questions have been carefully designed to test both theoretical and practical knowledge, and are representative of the curricular elements highlighted within the RCOG trainee logbook.

This volume is a practical guide for medical students during their clinical years, providing coverage of the common gynaecological conditions which will be most frequently encountered by the doctor in training. The text is designed to complement the practical experience gained by the student in the clinic, advocating a problem-solving patient-centred approach, and emphasizing the importance of clinical and communication skills.

This book aims to assist the acquisition of 'evidence-based' core knowledge of obstetrics and gynaecology and can be used by the trainee as a self-assessment aid throughout training and during revision for the Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG) examination.

A multidisciplinary approach to the care of women with gynaecological cancer - with treatment delivered in linked local or specialist centres - has been established in the UK. The second edition of this book therefore includes chapters which focus on the multidisciplinary approach. Chapters on pathology, radiology, chemotherapy and radiotherapy will increase understanding of these disciplines that are central to the care of women with gynaecological cancers. Chapters on laparoscopic surgery, basic surgical principles, palliative care, emergencies and treatment-related complications provide additional information. All content has been updated to reflect current practice and present the latest evidence on investigation, staging and management. The book is primarily designed to provide a comprehensive summary for candidates preparing for the Part 2 MRCOG examination, and as such covers the RCOG curriculum for gynaecological oncology. It is also a valuable guide for all healthcare professionals working in the field, including trainees, consultants and midwives.
