Clinical Audit in Palliative Care

Overview

Clinical audit is now a major component of the practice of doctors, nurses, social workers and others who work in hospitals and the community. However, in palliative care, where quality is paramount, audit has been hampered by the lack of sensitive methods and measures. This book brings together methods and experiences in practising audit from around the UK, Ireland and Canada, to show how audit in this crucial area of care can be done. It provides clear, practical information and should be of value not only to those who work in hospices, home care support teams and hospital support teams, but also to those who work in radiotherapy and oncology units, community nursing, general practice and any setting where palliative care is offered.
