Media Reviews
Thought-provoking and essential reading to all health professionals involved inpalliative care. This book represents an extremely useful resource for health professionals involved in palliative care especially if a novice to the specialty. User friendly with good use of diagrams. The use of plain English written in an academic style makes it useful to the health professional and lay carer alike.
European Journal of Cancer Care

This extremely comprehensive book is easy to use and written in a sensitive manner....this is an encouraging text for those professionals who feel lost when caring for patients in the final period of life. I believe this book will be a valuable addition to any library.
Palliative Medicine

This is an excellent primer of palliative care for nurses. I think it would be equally useful to junior doctors and those who don't work in the palliative care field. Highly recommended.
International Assoc. for Hospice & Palliative Care

The style of the chapters i.e. providing extensive information for further reading, make it a valuable reference volume for both qualified nurses and students working in this area... I would recommend this book to nurses as a valuable addition to their collection of text books.
Journal of Community Nursing

A now classic text and the new edition ensures it is up to date with some fast moving changes in these areas of practise.
