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 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 seventh edition contains 21 new chapters: Anatomy of the Pelvis and Reproductive Tract, Placenta and Fetal Membranes, Antenatal Care, Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Recurrent Miscarriage, Ectopic Pregnancy, Trophoblastic Disease Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis, Drugs and Pregnancy, Obstetric Emergencies, Prolonged Pregnancy, Renal Disease, Termination of Pregnancy, Imaging in Gynaecology, PMS Assisted Reproduction, Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy, Sexual Dysfunction, Psychological Aspects of Pregnancy, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault - now on MRCOG curriculum Ethical Dilemmas.

This text is recommended reading for the MRCOG part 2 examination.
