Product Description

Obstetrics and Gynaecology by Impey is a structured textbook covering the common disease entities in this discipline. It has established itself as a key textbook for medical students and a new edition is required to ensure that the book is kept up to date.
Both Obstetrics and Gynaecology are covered in separate sections, while `At a Glance' boxes are featured to enable students to concentrate on the core information. The book incorporates the relevant basic science, medical ethics and law in relation to obstetrics and gynaecology, and a unique management section. The emphasis on patient diagnosis and management means that both medical students and postgraduate candidates have found this book invaluable.

Customer Reviews

I normally never buy/use textbooks but this is an exception!
Impey is definately worth purchasing. I have just come towards the end of my obs and gynae attatchment, and have been using it for a week, and wish i'd started earlier! It's definately concise, and probably readable cover to cover in a week if you push yourself. I normally never use/buy textbooks or consolidate my learning like I should, and after panicking at the thought of my upcoming exams brought this last week.

I think its brilliant, covers each topic sufficiently and prepares you for exams. I'm reading this cover to cover, and using it as a revision aid by highlighting the book - something completely unheard of for me, and not possible with most books! It's an excellent, informative, concise read and the at a glance boxes consolidate your learning. It's also a lot more readable than Crash Course. Definately 100% worth buying. I just wish there was a similar text for Paeds!

Fantastic
and dare I say, all you need to pass O&G exams. Very well written and excellent layout.

Good book
This was the book recommended by the course at Imperial. The content is good but doesnt really go into great detail about certain things and if you want to know everything about this field of medicine then its probably not the book for you! However if you dont care about knowing everything about this dry subject (like me), then this is probably the book for you! I found it very helpful and simple to read and if I was doing o+g again I would recommend this book.
