This book concisely covers the key issues affecting good palliative care in the community. It describes the essence of good palliative care and how to improve the care of the dying in the community, with the aim of enabling more people to die where they would prefer, at home. Focusing on practical communication skills that can be applied in everyday working practice, it explores emotional problems that patients, relatives, close friends and professionals experience and the support they need. Primary Palliative Care will be invaluable to general practitioners and all healthcare professionals in primary care, especially those working in hospices and nursing homes, and associated professionals with roles in multidisciplinary palliative care teams such as social workers, clergy, therapists and volunteers.
