Considered the "gold standard reference" for palliative medicine. This resource provides a stimulating, thoughtful, and open-minded global approach to palliative care. Deals comprehensively with ethical issues, clinical and organizational audit, quality of life, bereavement, paediatric issues and the whole spectrum of psychosocial issues.
The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine reaffirms the interrelation between patients, their families and health care providers and the importance of pluridisciplinarity and the need for respect.
