Contraception Made Easy, revised edition

Highly Commended in the 2016 BMA Medical Book Awards!


From reviews:


"...undoubtedly
the best feature is the user-friendly and consistent nature of the format. Each
method of contraception has a dedicated chapter with an identical outline
showcasing factual and practical content using bulleted text, tables and
pictograms.... The book would be useful for medical students that are 'new' to
the subject as the outline of the chapters lends itself to seamless grasping of
new information. However, the practical application of the factual information
is ideal for both gynaecological and family planning trainees, nurses that work
within the field and general practitioners." Ulster Medical Journal 2016:85(3):211


This revised edition has been updated to include the 2016 UK Medical
Eligibility Criteria for contraceptive use, as well as other updates. It helps
healthcare professionals to provide up to date and practical guidance on all
the commonly used contraceptive methods:




combined oral contraceptive (COCs), patches, and
vaginal rings



progestogen-only pills (POPs), progestogen-only
injectables and implants



copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the levonorgestrel
IUS



diaphragms, cervical caps, and male and female
condoms



natural fertility awareness advice/kits



emergency contraception



male and female sterilisation.





Contraception
Made Easy is the ideal practical reference guide for GPs and other
healthcare professionals involved in the provision of contraceptive advice.
