GYNAECOLOGY IN PRIMARY CARE: A PRACTICAL GUIDE

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 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-date knowledge of common gynaecological conditions, suggestions of best practice with regard to management and investigations to be undertaken within primary care, and guidelines for onward referral, where this is appropriate and necessary. From a commissioning perspective it provides an invaluable resource to CCGs, to inform their future pathways for gynaecology care.
