Reviews
The book is clearly laid out and well illustrated by clear diagrams and pictures. As befits a specialty that emphasises a holistic approach to the care of patients and their families, many chapters are illustrated by case histories, some of which are quite moving. There is much useful material for talk preparation and each chapter is extensively referenced. There is a wide, multidisciplinary and international flavour to the authorship. The role of the multidisciplinary team is an overarching theme and the specific roles of the various extended team members are highlighted in individual sections... As with the previous editions, it will prove to be an invaluable resource. Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh This new edition consolidates the position of the Oxford Textbook as the definitive text in Palliative Medicine. It remains a very readable, well-resourced and well presented book. Hospice Information Bulletin Its predecessors, published in 1993 and 1998 respectively, garnered high praise and wide acceptance, establishing The Oxford Textbook as the gold standard reference text in our rapidly expanding field. The third edition continues this proud tradition... a wonderful testament to a rapidly growing body of knowledge in a dynamic new field of health care competence. Palliative Medicine This textbook will remain a core text. International Journal of Palliative Nursing When the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine was first published in 1993 it was immediately acclaimed as the best and most comprehensive textbook in the field. Specialists in palliative medicine came to regard both the first and second edition (published in 1998) as indispensable sources of reliable information to assist in the management of complex problems... Should libraries, palliative care teams, medical schools and individual specialists invest in the new tome? My answer would be an unequivocal yes. Professor Mike Richards CBE, National Cancer Director in Palliative Medicine This book will remain the gold standard reference in palliative medicine for the next few years at least. The editors are to be congratulated on the successful completion of what is a very impressive reference. IAHPC Website
