The text looks at the the epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis and management of gynaecological disorders and discusses the impact of these conditions on patients, emphasizing the importance of good communication, as well as clinical skills.



Advocating a problem-solving patient-centred approach to learning, the text is designed to complement the practical experience gained by the student in the clinic, and is structured to encourage them to think through clinical problems in a step-by-step fashion. By bringing together the medical, surgical, social and emotional aspects of gynaecology, it gives students a firm grounding in the basic principles and skills associated with this important multidisciplinary medical specialty.
