Book Description
APPRAISAL AND REVALIDATION SERIES The Appraisal and Revalidation Series helps doctors demonstrate their competence to the standard expected by the General Medical Council and to the standard expected if they are recognised as having 'special clinical interests'. It helps doctors gather evidence of their performance for appraisal and revalidation portfolios. Revalidation will change the emphasis of regulation of doctors with an interest in reproductive medicine away from the qualifications of MRCOG or DRCOG towards regular assessment of a doctor's competence to practise and it will be incumbent upon the individual doctors whether in training or in substantive posts in primary or secondary care to reflect on their work and to demonstrate expertise within their special clinical interests. This book will help to alleviate anxieties by removing the 'fear of the unknown' through a series of concise chapters covering the crucial clinical areas in reproductive healthcare. I commend the excellent practical advice on how to accumulate revalidation data by using practical examples based on cycles of evidence.I envisage that many of us involved in the care of women will refer to this book time and time again. It is an excellent contribution that will help doctors immensely in their preparation for the requirements of revalidation on all aspects of reproductive health Professor Steve Field in his foreword For more information on other titles in this series please click here

You'll need to make sure you match your portfolio with what is expected in your specialty area.This book helps you to sustain your energy in gathering and reviewing evidence of your day-to-day performance at work so that you are recertified and relicensed with ease, whatever future revisions are made to the revalidation process.

Book Description
This book examines the representation of infertility, assisted reproduction, miscarriage, adoption and surrogacy in a wide range of media, including blogs, vlogs, social media posts and factual programming. In so doing, it illustrates how pregnancy loss, involuntary childlessness and non-traditional mothering are being depicted across the media landscape. Whilst the topic of motherhood has emerged as a significant area of academic debate, narratives of unsuccessful or unconventional mothering have remained largely absent, even at a time when there is a growing conversation about infertility online. Timely, pertinent and original, the book demonstrates the importance of a broader and more informed cultural discussion about fertility and family building.
