Reviews

This book is an excellent resource, full with information from leaders in the field of palliative medicine. . . An essential textbook for all professionals working within the palliative care arena.
*Helen Reeves, Clinical Nurse Manager, St Giles Walsall Hospice, Nursing Times*

This is an expertly informed text that remains authoritative and detailed. Seeing all these chapter titles in print also illustrates how broad palliative care is, providing a useful reminder of how many different areas and topics are part of its practice . . . Those new to the book will find what the editors hope to have created: an authoritative reference text with a global perspective on the field.
*Guy Schofield, Clinical Research Fellow, Imperial College, London; in the European Journal of Palliative Care, Vol 23, No. 1 (2016)*

Updated, well organised, and the coverage is good [...] I think it remains the best book on palliative medicine on the market.
*Roger Woodruff; Hospicecare.com, January 2016*
