About this title
The care of patients with advanced and terminal illness can be extremely rewarding but often causes professionals a considerable amount of discomfort. This is especially so when you feel under confident in your abilities to provide a high quality of symptom management and relief from distress and to communicate appropriately with patients. Patients with advanced disease present some of the most challenging ethical physical psychological and social issues to clinicians and indeed to society.
Patients need us to be knowledgeable skilful and understanding. The fully revised and updated new edition of Palliative Care outlines the fundamental principles and facts which will enable you to make a very real difference to your patients and their families. Information is provided in an accessible user-friendly way and covers a wide range of physical and non-physical symptom management. Multi-professional team work is addressed as is the role and support of families. There is also a consideration of the dilemmas and decisions that may be encountered by doctors around the end of a patient's life.
This practical resource designed to provoke contemplative professional development and enhance learning will be essential reading for nursing and medical practitioners and other professionals who support patients in their homes in care homes and in hospital.
