Recenzii

This book provides an excellent introduction to the principles and practices of palliative care in health care.  The  case studies and opportunities for reflection allow the practitioner to develop an understanding of how palliative care principles can be applied in practice settings for a variety of life limiting conditions.
Reading ‘Palliative Care in Nursing and Healthcare’ has been a great pleasure. The content is extremely relevant to today’s practice along with being beautifully presented.  The book is full of case studies and reflection points which deepens understanding on the subject.  I would highly recommend that all healthcare professionals read this excellent and informative book.

This book aims to present the essence of palliative care for undergraduate students in nursing and allied health; my opinion was that it would not do any harm to make medical students read it as well. It covers care and compassion, the holistic approach, care planning, carers’ needs, the interprofessional team, communication, ethical issues, end of life care, death and dying and, finally, self-care. There are numerous illustrative case scenarios and lists of reflection points. Good stuff.
