FOREWORD I feel honoured to be asked to write the foreword for this new book Challenging Concepts in Obstetrics and Gynaecology as I believe that it offers the reader a new learning experience. It is well recognised in educational circles that each of us learns in different ways and the majority use a plurality of methods to embed knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The use of storytelling in learning is increasingly acknowl- edged as a powerful part of the teaching armamentarium. This new book combines the stories of women presenting with complex clinical conditions with a holistic exploration of the issues that the obstetrician and gynaecologist needs to consider in order to manage these patients most effectively. The cases cover all areas of obstetrics and gynaecology without being a reading list ticking off elements of the curriculum. Each case is written by a doctor in post- graduate medical training supported by a local mentor with comments and further emphasis on essential learning points from international experts. It is therefore up to date and relevant to cases that the reader will face in their practice. The layout makes it easy to read extracts and presents learning points, clinical tips, and identifies the evidence base for further reading. I would recommend this book as a must to all in Obstetrics and Gynaecology as a readily available resource to deliver best care to your patients and as a teaching aid to learn or pass on those clinical gems we all value so much.
