In these chapters advise on preparation is given and example questions are provided for practice. It is emphasized in the text that the place to learn obstetrics and gynaecology is on the wards, clinics and in theatre. Discussion with colleagues and background reading is essential, as there are many areas of controversy. In covering the syllabus the authors have aimed for a common sense approach and have not dealt with minutiae. They have outlined controversial areas and acknowledged that other views exist. Each chapter commences with a section outlining the expectations of the examiners to provide guidance for the candidate to concentrate on the core of the subject. The coverage is not definitive and should be augmented with other texts, outlined in the suggested reading list.
