"It is invaluable and does exactly what it says it is in the preface. It is so quick and easy, and light! I bought the book in an emotional moment because I knew the authors, as opposed to needing another book, but I am so glad I did."

Customer Reviews

Surviving the third year
This guide has been really useful to me as i come to the end of my third year. Its a handy size so i can take it into placement without my bag causing me to pull a muscle! The infomation in the book is good for a quick reference when you need to double check something. The section on medical problems and early pregnancy abnormalities is useful to refer to especially in the community setting. The book has an appendix on normal values in pregnancy of biochemistry and haematology tests which again is useful reference guide when in the antenatal clinic (community or hospital). Obviously this book does not have all the answers but it does give brief inforamtion on a wide range of topics which commonly occur.
I would definately recommend this book to other students as well as qualified midwives.

Excellent
This is an excellent book and well worth buying if you are a student midwife

Very good book for qualified midwives
It was very useful to study using this book.
I am an overseas midwife so I found it very useful to learn all the medical terms in English.
I would absolutely recommand it to other midwives that want to practice in the UK, but not to students, since I believe it not complete and it doesnt explain very well everything.
