Review

"The author's warmth, enthusiasm and concern for patients, their families and the professionals who care for them, combined with her scholarship, shine throughout this book. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the care of people approaching the end of their lives in any setting." (Palliative Medicine, 2009)

"This book will be a very welcome addition to the undergraduate curriculum for clinicians seeking to specialize in palliative care." (International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 2009)

"There is a wealth of knowledge and experience for nursing students and newly qualified nurses seeking direction.... I would recommend this for reference on general medical wards and units where patients are receiving end of life care." (Nursing Standard, April 2009)

From the Back Cover

Palliative care is within the remit of all health care professionals in any setting. An Integrated Approach to Generic Palliative Care is an accessible practical guide to the delivery of good palliative care, combining theory and practice, aimed at all members of the multidisplinary team. It explains and complements the government led End of Life Care programme which is being coordinated by Strategic health Authorities, incorporating the Gold Standards Framework, the Preferred Place of Care and the Liverpool Care Pathway. 

An integrated approach is advocated throughout this book- in all sections the orthodox approach to treatments and care is discussed alongside a complementary approach.  This text provides a highly practical approach to pain and symptom approach support including a pain assessment tool for the severely cognitively impaired and a detailed account on how to titrate morphine to individual patients.  It also explores hope and spiritual pain showing that these two existential notions are actually part of every day practice.
