This book addresses questions asked by experienced family planning clinicians when answers could not readily be found in standard texts. The questions and answers summarised here are based on the first 1000 enquiries from Faculty members received by the Clinical Effectiveness Unit of the Faculty of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care (FFPRHC). This means that the book is an essential first point of reference when faced with a clinical dilemma. It is an essential volume for all practitioners in the field, who may ‘enquire within’ when faced with a dilemma in practice relating to a rare condition or a contentious issue and find an authoritative answer.
