Has anyone got these, had a look at my mentors today and although they are from 2003 they are fantastic. Wondering if anyone else uses them and the opinion on the prices £21.99 +£2 p+p

I have them and liked them to start with. However i used them to stick my deliveries stickers on and now have made my own midwifery notebook and I find that hleps me learn those things I need to remember as the process of putting it together really helps.

They did help me before I started and in the earlier days. My mentor uses hers alot still.

I use mine more on labour ward, quite a bit. Its useful when you just want to clarify things. I got mine off e bay and they were quite cheep.

Although many people i have spoken to say they have not really used them much.

Sorry could not be any help.

I have a set. Like others say, I used them quite a lot at first. But not so much these days.

I have these and i do use mine as they are handy to keep in your pocket where as you cant keep a book in your pocket.

I carry mine in my bag (when I remember) and I find they are useful sometimes, for example, if you want to know what coloured blood bottles to use or to remember some of the nemonics.
Mine were a free gift with a magazine subscription, but I don't think I would pay around £20.00 for a set.

I have a set and use them quite alot. I even carry them to uni and use them more often than you would think.
