This book lays a clear foundation of knowledge for any nurse involved in any way with palliative care. It focuses on the needs and perspectives of the patient, and seeks to give the reader a strong broad understanding of how best to deliver full, rounded care. It is not, therefore, a how-to or a technical manual; instead it explores pertinent human issues based on up-to-date research and developments.
