Publisher's Synopsis
This single volume provides information needed by doctors and nurses caring for the terminally ill. The general structure of the book remains unaltered, all chapters being updated, including a section on running a home-care team. Where great advances have been made, some sections have been replaced. There are additional sections on the wider applications of palliative care, the role of the day hospice and the contribution of physiotherapy to symptom control in malignant disease.
