Contraception made easy - Laura Percy

Highly Commended in the 2016 BMA Medical Book Awards!

From reviews:

".undoubtedlythe best feature is the user-friendly and consistent nature of the format. Eachmethod of contraception has a dedicated chapter with an identical outlineshowcasing factual and practical content using bulleted text, tables andpictograms.. The book would be useful for medical students that are 'new' tothe subject as the outline of the chapters lends itself to seamless grasping ofnew information. However, the practical application of the factual informationis ideal for both gynaecological and family planning trainees, nurses that workwithin the field and general practitioners."
