Editorial Reviews

Review

... very useful to not only medical professionals but all those seeking quality end-of-life care for all. Doody's Journal ... brings together for the first time national and internationals multi-professional experts in the field of palliative care practice and research to critically appraise experiences of disadvantaged dying and solutions to meet these problems ... [this book] reminds the reader that whilst much has been achieved in the last several decades, a great deal remains to be done. At GBP24.95 this book represents excellent value for money.
