How Obstetricians Can Convert PDF Guidelines to EPUB for Mobile Reading (2026)

Obstetrics and gynaecology generate high-stakes PDF guidelines: NICE antenatal and postnatal care guidelines, RCOG Green-top Guidelines, FIGO recommendations, and BJOG journal articles. This guide shows obstetricians, midwives, and trainees how to convert these PDFs to EPUB for portable, offline reference.

Why Obstetricians Need EPUB

Obstetrics is a speciality where rapid access to evidence-based guidance can be life-saving. Labour ward emergencies — shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, cord prolapse, eclampsia, uterine rupture — require immediate recall of management algorithms. RCOG Green-top Guidelines and NICE intrapartum care guidance provide the evidence base, but they are dense PDFs that are hard to navigate under pressure. Converting to EPUB provides offline, searchable, annotatable references accessible on any device, even on labour ward with poor Wi-Fi.

Obstetrics Reading Workflows

Labour Ward Emergency Reference

Keep these RCOG GTGs as EPUBs on your phone for offline access on labour ward: shoulder dystocia (GTG42), postpartum haemorrhage (GTG52), umbilical cord prolapse (GTG50), management of eclampsia (GTG10A), and care of women presenting with reduced fetal movements (GTG57). EPUB search lets you jump to a specific algorithm in seconds.

Antenatal Clinic

Convert NICE antenatal care (NG201) and hypertension in pregnancy (NG133) to EPUB. In clinic, search for screening thresholds, referral criteria, fetal growth assessment intervals, and medication management in preeclampsia. Annotate patient-specific decision points.

Gynaecology Outpatients and Theatre

Convert relevant RCOG GTGs for gynaecology (menorrhagia GTG44, ectopic pregnancy GTG21, ovarian cysts GTG62, consent templates) to EPUB. Reference management algorithms and consent information quickly during outpatient appointments or pre-operative assessment.

MRCOG Exam Preparation

Convert RCOG GTGs and NICE obstetric/gynaecology guidelines most heavily tested in the MRCOG Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 to EPUB. Annotate key management steps and evidence grades. Build a revision library on your e-reader for commute reading and between-session revision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What obstetrics and gynaecology PDFs should I convert to EPUB?
Priority resources include: NICE guidelines (antenatal care NG201, intrapartum care NG235, postnatal care NG194, preterm labour NG25, hypertension in pregnancy NG133), RCOG Green-top Guidelines (GTGs), FIGO recommendations, SOGC clinical practice guidelines, and key trial reports (WOMAN, MAGNuM, PILOT, ARRIVE, TOLAC).
How do I access RCOG Green-top Guidelines as PDF?
All RCOG Green-top Guidelines are free at rcog.org.uk (Guidelines → Green-top Guidelines). Each GTG is available as a PDF published in BJOG. NICE obstetric guidelines are free at nice.org.uk. FIGO recommendations are available at figo.org. SOGC guidelines are at sogc.org.
How do I convert an obstetric guideline to EPUB?
Upload the PDF to toolkit.bot and click Convert. RCOG GTGs range from 20 to 60 pages. NICE antenatal care (NG201) runs to ~200 pages. The converter handles two-column layouts and tables of evidence grades. Download the EPUB and transfer to your phone or e-reader for use during on-call shifts, antenatal clinic, or labour ward.
Can I use EPUB obstetric guidelines during labour ward on call?
Yes — this is a key use case. Labour ward can have patchy Wi-Fi. Having NICE intrapartum care (NG235), RCOG GTGs for shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, and cord prolapse as offline EPUBs on your phone gives you instant access to management algorithms in time-critical situations.
Which journals are most relevant for obstetricians?
Core journals include BJOG (RCOG flagship), American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG), Obstetrics & Gynecology (Green Journal, ACOG), Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (ISUOG), Lancet (for major obstetric RCTs like WOMAN), and NEJM. PubMed Central hosts many articles after embargo.
