Reviews

Review of previous edition: 'The book is well-written, the layout is friendly and the signposting excellent. There are a generous amount of photographs, tables, figures and flowcharts, all of which make the book easy to read ... we recommend to the book to anyone concerned with quality improvement and risk management in IVF. Ideally, every unit should have a copy.' Human Fertility Review of previous edition: 'This is a clearly written introduction ... from authors with many years of experience in the speciality. They have succeeded in producing an account that is not only highly readable but also authoratitive and well referenced ... this book will be very useful to IVF laboratory units embarking on developing a QMS and very worthwhile reading for every member of the team.' The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
