Mastering the DRCOG directly reflects and fulfils the DRCOG syllabus set by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Chapters are laid out precisely following the DRCOG syllabus format. Starting with an overall introduction to the exam, the book covers seven core modules of the syllabus.

These modules are then followed by a section of 'hot topics' not specifically mentioned in the syllabus, but of real interest for all those working in the area of women's health. These include the menopause and its management, abuse of women, fetal sex selection and eugenics, egg donation, breast augmentation surgery and surrogate motherhood.

Mastering the DRCOG is written in a clear and straight-forward style and is illustrated throughout. Written by a newly qualified GP and edited by two highly experienced Consultants, one in obstetrics and gynaecology, the other in community sexual and reproductive health, this book is an excellent resource for all candidates preparing for the diploma.
