APPRAISAL AND REVALIDATION SERIES The Appraisal and Revalidation Series helps doctors demonstrate their competence to the standard expected by the General Medical Council and to the standard expected if they are recognised as having 'special clinical interests'. It helps doctors gather evidence of their performance for appraisal and revalidation portfolios. Revalidation will change the emphasis of regulation of doctors with an interest in reproductive medicine away from the qualifications of MRCOG or DRCOG towards regular assessment of a doctor's competence to practise and it will be incumbent upon the individual doctors whether in training or in substantive posts in primary or secondary care to reflect on their work and to demonstrate expertise within their special clinical interests. This book will help to alleviate anxieties by removing the 'fear of the unknown' through a series of concise chapters covering the crucial clinical areas in reproductive healthcare. I commend the excellent practical advice on how to accumulate revalidation data by using practical examples based on cycles of evidence.I envisage that many of us involved in the care of women will refer to this book time and time again. It is an excellent contribution that will help doctors immensely in their preparation for the requirements of revalidation on all aspects of reproductive health Professor Steve Field in his foreword For more information on other titles in this series please click here
