Good Practices in Palliative Care

A team of two practitioners in psychosocial palliative care and an academic have drawn together the work of twenty-eight highly experienced practitioners. Good Practices in Palliative Care : a psychosocial perspective provides detailed descriptions of innovatory practices and how they were developed, together with clear practice principles. This unique contribution to palliative care literature is suitable for a wide range of health and social care professionals at student and experienced levels and is written in a user-friendly style.
