Revue de presse

'This is a neat and compact aide-memoire that will not readily lose its worth...particularly helpful for specialist trainees in gynaecology, general practitioners and specialist nurses... I have no hesitation in recommending it.'. --Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, 2007

'Refreshingly, the book does not take a partisan approach to hormone replacement therapy but offers a rational résumé of the options available. Written in a good style, the text flows sufficiently well to read at one sitting. Time is taken to describe symptoms carefully and systematically.' --The Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, 2007

'...a useful handbook for general practitioners, practice nurses, gynaecologists, family planning and well-women doctors and nurses, and others involved in women s healthcare world-wide'. --Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health.
