Review: BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended

"The editors are eminent professors and consultants in the UK, their depth of experience is reflected in this very interesting and useful handbook. It is evidence-based factual information presented in a simple concise form with extremely well-written chapters. The chapters on legal aspects of family planning, barrier methods, intrauterine systems and menopause send out loud and clear messages to readers in simple formats. There are good illustrations on teaching barrier methods."
