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. This new specialist handbook, Obstetric Medicine, provides a comprehensive overview of medical conditions in the pregnant woman, and covers the syllabus for both the RCOG Advanced Training Skills Module (ATSM) and sub-specialty training in maternal medicine. This is an essential new addition to the literature for all physicians who work with pregnant women in their practice. It contains links to national and international guidelines, and provides evidence-based management strategies for both chronic and acute illnesses.
