Product Description

Review

The Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care is a concise and well-organized reference text for both palliative care clinicians and other clinicians...The introduction provides a solid foundation from which the rest of the text is built...succinct and pocket-sized...[with] useful information for experienced palliative care clinicians...a valuable resource...to anyone who participates in providing palliative care...As the population continues to age and the number of people with life-limiting or life-threatening illness increases, there will be a greater need for all clinicians to provide skilled and competent palliative care. The Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care is an excellent reference guide that can assist them in providing such care. (Respiratory Care Vol. 51 No. 4 )

Practical and compact, the Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care (OHPC) addresses most, if not all of the issues one would expect and desire. ...The OHCP is a wonderful book. It can be used as a reference book, an aide memoire or a revision aid equally well and I see it as an invaluable tool for anyone involved in providing palliative care, not just for those who specialise in this field. (Hospice Information Bulletin )

This little book is packed with practical information . . . It will be of use to any health care professionals who deal with palliative care patients and their families; this applies both to people who work in palliative care and to those who only occasionally run into a palliative care patient, for whom it can be recommended as a comprehensive practical guide that is relatively inexpensive. (IAHPC Website )

5.0 out of 5 stars comment, 5 Jun 2009
This is a precious book: useful and complete, it's really a masterpiece and I strongly recommend it. It's practical, up to date and easy to consult. I'm a bit sorry that, in a book dedicated to palliative cares, the Authors were forced to accept euthanasia, as no more than an option already at the patients' disposal in different Countries: nothing could be farther from a PC-dedicated physician.
Finally, as I come from a non English speaking Country, I was a bit puzzled with the new wave of using double-sex pronouns (he/she), as if the male pronouns couldn't be used with a sexual independent meaning (e.g. manhood).
