Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Palliative Care serves as an innovative, practical resource to help equip health social workers with theoretical and clinical tools to integrate palliative care principles into practice with individuals, families, teams, and institutions. In honoring the coherence of palliative care and social work, authors re-awaken the potential of thousands of health social workers to lead and inform the Institute of Medicine's mandate for high-quality, humane, patient-centered, family-focused care.
MoreLong description:
Accessible and instructive,Palliative Careguides and inspires health social workers to incorporate palliative care principles into their current clinical practice. Through the lenses of environmental theory and intersectionality, rich case narratives highlight opportunities for social workers to enhance their work, advancing whole-person care in the face of serious illness. Chapters include questions to concretize ideas and demonstrate real-world application, while case narratives cover a range of settings, diagnoses, and populations. This book is a useful tool for educators, learners, and practicing social workers working with individuals and families navigating complex health care systems.
Palliative Care is a valuable primer for the social work profession-not just those working in palliative care teams but those in general social work practice. Utilizing an ecological framework at micro, meso, and macro levels, they have assembled a comprehensive review of palliative care components, standards of care, and available resources from domestic and international sources....
