This authoritative textbook provides a much-needed guide for postgraduate trainees preparing for the European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG) Fellowship examination. Published in association with EBCOG, it fully addresses the competencies defined by the EBCOG curriculum and builds the clinical practice related to these competencies upon the basic science foundations. Volume 1 covers the depth and breadth of obstetrics, and draws on the specialist knowledge of four highly experienced Editors and over 100 contributors from across Europe, reflecting the high-quality training needed to ensure the safety and quality of healthcare for women and their babies. It incorporates key international guidelines throughout, along with colour diagrams and photographs for easy understanding. This is an invaluable resource, not only for postgraduate trainees planning to sit the EFOG examination, but also for practising specialists looking to update their knowledge and skills to meet the ever-evolving complexity of clinical practice.

"The art of practising modern medicine is influenced by its complexity and changing socio economic factors. Money, power and resources influence health outcomes globally, nationally and locally. Europe with its wide geographical variation has different health care, training and education system. Clinical guidelines are aimed to reduce variation and increase cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery. However, economic and policy differences amongst various states influence the uptake of guidelines and the standards of care specialists expected to provide for their patients. The practice of obstetrics and gynaecology within the various European countries also varies extensively from one country to another and sometimes even from one hospital to another within the same country"-- Provided by publisher
