MoreLong description:
In this thoroughly revised fourth edition of Palliative Medicine, Roger Woodruff draws on recent research and new developments in treatment to survey the principles of palliative care and related ethical issues. The primary focus is on the management and treatment of pain and other symptoms experienced by patients with advanced cancer. The author contributes to the delivery of better care to more patients with a terminal illness, through thorough analysis and application of methods of pain relief and treatment of other symptoms in the terminally ill patient. All the work is firmly grounded in an evidence based approach and is thoroughly referenced to the latest research in the area.
The fourth edition of this book...in accordance with its theme of evidence-based care, is clearly updated and revised. It is extremely referenced and has as its focus partnerships between patients, families and professional carers...[it] is readable and informative. It never loses its focus of holistic, multi-disciplinary team-driven palliative care, and this fourth edition is an essential text for healthcare professionals working in palliative care.
