Gynaecology in Primary Care comes at a time of great change in health service delivery. General practice is facing the challenges of developing Clinical Commissioning Groups,providing an ever greater range of primary care services and implementing NICE guidelines,whilst CCGs through their members will be under a legal duty to innovate. From a provider perspective, the book equips general practitioners with up-to-dateknowledge of common gynaecological conditions, suggestions of best practice with regardto management and investigations to be undertaken within primary care, and guidelinesfor onward referral, where this is appropriate and necessary. From a commissioningperspective it provides an invaluable resource to CCGs, to inform their future pathways forgynaecology care. This highly practical book delivers the main aim of the RCP report - to ensure best care forfemale patients in the setting of their choice and where possible to develop streamlinedone-stop services in primary care so that women do not have to take time off from theirwork and family commitments. It is ideal for general practitioners needing to be inspiredand informed, and is also highly recommended for other healthcare professionals andmedical students with an interest in women's health.
