reading and a useful ready reference for all practitioners in the contraceptive field. The commonly asked [user] questions section is useful in direct client counselling but also in preparing written information. A most welcome support to clinicians in both primary and secondary care."

can be a potentially tricky area with many pitfalls and this is the only book that I have ever come across that seems to answer any burning questions. It is formatted in the familiar Your Questions Answered series and is a seemingly comprehensive look at contraception. It is ideal for primary care but secondary care specialists such as gynaecologists could also enjoy reading this book. As well as being a superb reference text, it is top class and is written in such a relaxed style that it is easy to just open up and read through a few sections. The questions that patients are likely to ask -with model answers are also most useful. Many GP registrars often finding contraception, a difficult subject to come to terms with and this book I would suggest is essential reading. I would also suggest that is a core element to any practice library.

This is a question and answer book. It is not easy to read as a narrative but is excellent for a problem solving approach. As a General Practitioner, I use this book several times each week. It is probably a good reference book for the non-professional to use if they want more information about contraception. There is a new edition arriving soon...
