Book Description

8 Aug 2008 1405160950 978-1405160957 3rd Edition
Obstetrics and Gynaecology has established itself as a key textbook and a classic favourite for medical students. The opening sections of this new edition incorporate the relevant basic science, history and examination, investigations and diagnosis, as well as common diseases, abnormalities, and complications in gynaecology and obstetrics respectively. These are supported by two unique separate sections on gynaecology and obstetrics management, which are tailored to help students revise for exams, especially OSCEs. The overall emphasis on patient diagnosis and management means that both medical students and postgraduate candidates have found this book invaluable.

This third edition has been completely updated, with more helpful features, including:


  • Two new appendices on Common Drugs and Normal Maternal Ranges in Pregnancy
  • Extra ‘at a Glance’ boxes for a quick chapter summary
  • Key point summary boxes and new and updated references provided throughout
  • New and improved Further Reading sections in every chapter

The third edition is full colour, highly illustrated, and includes new figures and new artwork in many chapters,
and sees Tim Child, a colleague of Lawrence Impey’s from the John Radcliffe, join the author team.

All in all, Obstetrics and Gynaecology is ideal as a core textbook and to revise from prior to the exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to learn O&G in 10 days... I did. 12 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
Surely not I hear you all cry! Yes and I assure you, you can do the same with this handy text.

This has to go down as one of the best texts I bought whilst at medschool, ranking up there with the Oxford handbook and Surgical talk (not Lissauer though - miserable book). The 2 sections are clearly defined and well laid-out, the information is concise (thank god) and the 'at a glance' boxes summarise the content in precisely that way. Also, it is handy enough for one of the more dedicated members of your firm to carry around with them without you needing to.

Undoubtedly others will prefer a more comprehensive text that will 'guarantee' a prize/A/first etc. If however, you are like me i.e. have a fairly limited interest in the subjects(!) then Impey will more than adequately cope with your needs and assist the clinical work which is of vital importance in these specialities.

In summary, a great textbook that treats both aspects of Obs n Gynae with equal merit whist putting emphasis on the 'need to know to pass' rather than the 'need to know to get an A'...

Just don't leave it to the last minute... it wasn't pretty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it for the undergraduate exams. 17 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
"If you're doing Obs and Gynae then buy Impey!" It's as simple as that. I could just end the review there but that would be rather dry wouldn't it? So I shall continue.

This book by Impey is a very concise, readable book designed to give you the essentials of the subject during a firm that is long and quite draining. It gives you all the material to pass the exam at the end of the firm, which happens to be a finals exam! Given that time is limited this is a good book to use to help you pass and pass well!

It is divided into two sections: Gynaecology and Obstetrics. With 15 and 20 chapters respectively the book goes into enough depth without getting bogged down in the detail. There are references to very recent research papers for those who want more detail on certain topics. Clearly written chapters are accompanied by boxes of key points and 'At a glance' summaries at the end of each chapter make for quick revision. This is a must for all of those doing O&G finals and the author is to be congratulated on producing such a readable text.

The final section has brief details on management of specific cases in both specialties, for example pre-eclampsia and ovarian carcinoma. This section is ideal for quick revision before the exam. I found it especially useful at 2am on the day of my exam! In conclusion, this is probably the only textbook you will ever need for Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Trust me, I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for obs/gynae undergrad rotation 1 Jun 2004
Format:Paperback
I didn't discover Impey until I'd finished my rotation in Obs/Gynae, but I wish I'd known about it from the start! It gives an excellently-written overview of obstetrics and gynaecology, providing enough detail so you understand it well, but not too much 'irrelevant' detail that confuses.

The end of each chapter has brilliant "At A Glance" boxes for all the topics covered in that chapter. Overall, it's definitely the best Obs/Gynae textbook I've found (others tried: Lecture Notes, Fundamentals (Llewelyn), Essentials, Undergrad Obs/Gynae).
