Common questions
Is breast disease part of reproductive health?
In our bank, breast lumps and breast cancer referral are in reproductive health. The GMC does not publish which questions sit in which area, so our grouping follows the MLA content map and the topics a Foundation doctor meets in gynaecology and the breast clinic.
Which guidance do obstetric questions follow?
NICE guidance (antenatal care, hypertension in pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage), RCOG Green-top Guidelines and FSRH guidance for contraception.
