This revised, updated and expanded edition offers a practical guide for all nurses, particularly those who are new to palliative care and those who work in other areas of health where some palliative skills are required. There is an increased focus on clinical issues throughout.

Written by experienced authorities from around the world giving a wider international perspective on palliative nursing, this substantially expanded new edition has been specifically adapted to reflect working practices within the NHS. All nurses especially those that are new to palliative care, and those working in other areas of health where palliative skills are required, will find this essential reading.
