Offers balanced coverage of both male and female GU pathology, STIs and contraception
Includes material on practical gynaecological procedures performed in the out–patient setting
Presents a holistic approach to issues dealt with in this specialty
Takes a global perspective by addressing SRH issues in different cultures and resource–limited settings
Includes a companion website at www.ataglanceseries.com/sexualhealth featuring a selection of case scenarios and interactive flashcards for self–test

This brand new title will provide an invaluable resource for medical and healthcare students, junior doctors, SRH trainees and busy clinicians working in other specialties.
