Obstetric physicians: are they needed? The workload of a medical complications in pregnancy clinic.
Obstetric physicians are physicians whose training and particular expertise lie in the care of the medical complications of pregnancy. We present an audit of the work of our bi-weekly obstetric medicine clinic at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London, over a 10-month period from July 1994 to April 1995 inclusive, and discuss the need for obstetric physicians, with reference to individual medical conditions which complicate pregnancy.
