About this Item

Paperback. Clinical research has produced a continuous stream of evidence-based guidelines to guide practice in obstetrics. The guidelines are often widely scattered: this book brings together the essential guidelines in one comprehensive resource. The primary focus is on the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and other UK national guidelines; however, many chapters contain a 'Guideline Comparator' box carrying information from important international guidelines. Where there are no UK guidelines, information based on international guidelines is provided; where any guidelines do not exist, available evidence and accepted norms of practice based on expert opinion are detailed. Several chapters also contain a 'what not to do' box, which should act as a source of rich debate. To assist those studying for postgraduate examinations - such as MRCOG - the information is presented in schematic flowcharts, representing a step-by-step method of approaching clinical problems and providing an easy-to-use learning resource. This book brings together essential evidence-based guidelines to good clinical practice in obstetrics in one comprehensive resource. The content focuses on UK national guidelines; however, many chapters also contain information from important international guidelines. To assist those studying for postgraduate examinations the information is presented in schematic flowcharts. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
