Study Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Obstetrics and Gynaecology is where clinical reasoning meets time pressure, and the NMC competency framework maps that reasoning code by code. MedNext covers all 22 chapters against those codes, so antenatal care, normal and abnormal labour, obstetric haemorrhage and the full gynaecology syllabus each sit against a checklist you can see rather than assume. The obstetrics half carries the weight in both university vivas and NEET PG. Placenta praevia and abruptio placentae under OG10, hypertensive disease and diabetes in pregnancy under OG12, and the management of postpartum haemorrhage under OG16 are the topics examiners return to, because they decide real outcomes at the bedside. The partograph, cord prolapse and obstructed labour reward the student who has practised the sequence rather than read it once. Gynaecology brings its own high-yield spine: abnormal uterine bleeding through the PALM-COEIN system, amenorrhoea and its investigation, endometriosis, and the genital infections that fill outpatient clinics. Every chapter pairs a detailed reading with practice questions and a one-page cheat sheet, all tagged to the same NMC codes, so revision moves from learning a competency to testing it without leaving the topic. Clinical skills and operative observation are mapped too, which keeps logbook work aligned with the same framework that university exams and NExT draw from. Learn the codes properly once and the pre-exam weeks become a checklist.

How many obstetrics and gynaecology chapters does MedNext cover?
The OBG subject hub covers 22 chapters, spanning antenatal care, labour, obstetric emergencies and the full gynaecology syllabus. Each chapter is mapped to its NMC competency codes, so coverage is visible rather than assumed.
Is the OBG content mapped to the NMC competency framework?
Yes. Every chapter, practice question and cheat sheet is tagged to an official NMC competency code, for example OG16.2 for postpartum haemorrhage. This is the same framework that MBBS university exams, NEET PG and NExT draw from.
Which OBG topics carry the most exam weight?
Obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive disease in pregnancy, the partograph and abnormal labour supply most viva and clinical questions on the obstetrics side. In gynaecology, abnormal uterine bleeding, amenorrhoea and genital infections are reliably tested.
Does MedNext include OBG MCQs and revision material?
Each chapter is paired with practice questions and a one-page cheat sheet, all tagged to the same NMC codes as the reading, so you can move from learning a competency to testing and revising it within the same topic.
Can I preview the OBG content before paying?
Yes. You can preview the platform and read a free sample chapter after registering, then view plans when you are ready to decide.
