RCOG Core Curriculum – Module 15 – Sexual and Reproductive Health
This module’s reading list contains several BASHH guidelines listed below however they can be long and hard to read, with a lot of information which may not be directly relevant to the MRCOG Part 2. If revision time is short, we recommend using an up-to-date book which summarises the key points:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health at a Glance – C. Melville (2015)
- A very useful, inexpensive and easy to read summary of sexual and reproductive health, including contraception. This book contains all the required knowledge in a much more accessible format and style.
