Description
Handbook of Palliative Care is a comprehensive resource utilising up-to-date evidence and guidelines to support non-specialists in palliative care in both hospital and community settings.
Building on the success of previous editions, this new edition of the award-winning handbook has a practical focus and provides the user with an approach to clinical challenges while also providing enough information to explain why this approach is suggested. The 4th edition of Handbook of Palliative Care supports non-specialists in both hospital and community settings, focusing on holistic care and therapeutic interventions. With several new chapters and significantly updated content to reflect new evidence and practice, the 4th edition also presents up-to-date evidence and guidance in a succinct format, utilising flow charts and figures to enhance information accessibility.
Written by four highly accomplished nursing and medical authors with over 100 yearsβ experience between them in hospital, hospice, care home, and community settings, Handbook of Palliative Care provides:
- Guidance from clinicians who are experts in their field.
- An acknowledgment of the requirements of healthcare professionals attending to patients with palliative care needs, along with a dedicated chapter addressing this topic.
- Contemporary guidance on medicine management, symptom control, and managing complications of cancer.
- Palliative care in heart failure, renal disease, and advanced liver, neurological, and respiratory diseases.
- An in-depth look at patient and public involvement in palliative care and inequity.
- Skill development including communication, ethical considerations, and spiritual care.
- New chapters including frailty, dementia, and multi-morbidity; and palliative care for people living with mental illness and people with intellectual disabilities.
This 4th edition of Handbook of Palliative Care is an ideal supporting resource for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals caring for patients with palliative care needs in the UK and beyond. The 1st edition was the winner of the 1999 BMA Medical Book of the Year Prize.
