Obstetric Medicine, the first title in a new Oxford Specialist Handbooks series covering Obstetrics and Gynaecology, contains relevant, accessible, and focused information to help both general physicians to manage medical conditions during pregnancy, and the specialist obstetrician manage general medicine in the pregnant patient. Pregnant women regularly present with medical problems to many different medical specialties, and as their physiology is changed by the pregnancy, so too is the way in which many chronic illnesses behave. There are also differences in which drugs or investigations may be appropriate during pregnancy. This new specialist handbook provides a comprehensive overview of medical conditions in the pregnant patient, and covers the syllabus for both the RCOG Advanced Training Skills Module (ATSM) and the maternal medicine for obstetric trainees. Filled with links to national and international guidelines, expert advice, and evidence-based management strategies for a range of acute and chronic conditions that can occur in the pregnant woman, this handbook is an essential new addition to the literature for all physicians who work with pregnant patients in their practice.

Speciality applications can be one of the most exciting, but yet nerve wracking times in a doctor's career. It is important that interview stations are approached in the correct manner, so that maximum marks can be scored in a timely fashion. Having recently been successful in the Obstetric and Gynaecology ST1 interviews, we gained an understanding of the common questions and scenarios and how best to approach these. This book aims to pass on the knowledge and skills that we have gained, to help other budding obstetric and gynaecology trainees secure their training posts and join us in this rewarding speciality. The profits from this book will be donated to the "Friends of Nepal Ambulance Service", a charity which provides ambulance services to transport sick and vulnerable patients in rural Nepal. Some of the feedback from our 2016 interview course and resources: "Having not previously done any interview practice since getting into medical school, I was nervous (and clueless) about what to expect for my O&G ST1 interview. However, the resources offered on www.obsandgynae.net were the most comprehensive and useful resource I could've used. It was absolutely fantastic and I could not recommend it enough to prospective applicants for O&G interviews. The scenarios were all extremely realistic and similar to what comes up in the real interviews, and having mock mark schemes really helps when practising with friends." - Priya Paul obtained a training post in Oxford Deanery. "The course was exceptionally well run and organised. The speakers had genuine experience of the interview process and made a real effort to impart all the relevant information. I came away much more confident that I knew what interview preparation would be helpful and it really helped me to focus my time. I also met some people at the course who were applying to the same deanery and we were able to swap numbers and do interview practice together after the course. I would 100% recommend this course: well organised, well run, excellent quality teaching, amazing value for money and knowing that it was non-profit and going to charity is a massive bonus. So thankful to Neha for organising this and for all the volunteers giving up their weekend to help the next year of potential trainees. I was ranked highly in London and think a lot of that is down to this course and being able to prepare systematically. Thank you!" - Rachel Roberts obtained a training post in London Deanery. "Very thorough sessions and great advice, gave me the confidence to perform well in my interview!" - Thivya Sritharan obtained a training post in East Midlands Deanery. "Fantastic course! The course material contained many different interview scenarios, and we were able to take this material home with us, which was really useful and very similar to the real interview." - Simrit Nijjar obtained a training post in London Deanery. "Really useful information & good opportunity to practise interview skills and gain excellent formative feedback. Attending the course was definitely instrumental to me obtaining a training post! The course material was extremely useful with lots of good advice to aid preparation." - Carolann Waddell obtained a training post in Scotland Deanery. "The course was incredibly useful, very practical and the fact that all profits went to charity made it even better!" - Shila Tursini obtained a training post in East of England Deanery.
