Customer Reviews

A book you can dip into for information on Palliative Care.
Introducing Palliative care is well set out so that you can access all the different aspects of palliative care easily; from symptom control to the psychological needs of the patient and their family.

The main information in the book is in easy to read sections with lots of subheadings to find where you are.

The diagrams are simple and understandable.

All in all, the best book to get when learning Palliative care for the first time.

introducing palliative care
This is a well written book which is easy to read and dull and boring like some other texts I have read. It it as it says "an introduction" and provides you with the basics so you can read further later.
