Reviews
The fourth edition of this book...in accordance with its theme of evidence-based care, is clearly updated and revised. It is extremely referenced and has as its focus partnerships between patients, families and professional carers...[it] is readable and informative. It never loses its focus of holistic, multi-disciplinary team-driven palliative care, and this fourth edition is an essential text for healthcare professionals working in palliative care. Journal of Advanced Nursing The book is a real pleasure to read. The great advantage of single-author books is the consistency in style. This book excels as an introduction to palliative and will be of great usefulness to starting palliative care fellows and oncology residents. It is also an excellent reference book for internists, medical students, and other health care professionals. It has already been eleven years since the 1st edition of this book was published. For all these years Palliative Medicine has been, and continues to be, the book I recommend to all those health care professionals who are starting their serious reading in palliative care. All of us working in this area are very fortunate to have access to this excellent book. IAHPC Website
