This evidence-based text brings together the theory and practice of palliative care. It examines at all aspects of palliative care i.e. psycho social, spiritual and physical in a highly practical way. The evidence base for cancer care has been developed within the Hospice Movement over the past 50 years and, in the main, it transfers across to patients dying of diseases other than cancer. The book addresses the palliative needs of any patient with any disease in any care setting, which gives it a generic approach. This is in line with current government directives. Contributions to care and treatment are considered in a multidisciplinary and complementary way.

Reviews for Palliative Care: An Integrated Approach
“However, I have found myself referring to this book in recent months far more than some of the bigger, more established, textbooks – and if the measure of a good book is how well-thumbed the pages become, then the author is on to a winner. (European Journal of Palliative Care, 2010) "The author's warmth, enthusiasm and concern for patients, their families and the professionals who care for them, combined with her scholarship, shine throughout this book. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the care of people approaching the end of their lives in any setting." (Palliative Medicine, 2009) "This book will be a very welcome addition to the undergraduate curriculum for clinicians seeking to specialize in palliative care." (International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 2009) "There is a wealth of knowledge and experience for nursing students and newly qualified nurses seeking direction.... I would recommend this for reference on general medical wards and units where patients are receiving end of life care." (Nursing Standard, April 2009)
