"Caring for Dying Children and their Families" should be a useful resource for professional carers confronted by terminally ill children and their families. Different types of death and illness are considered, together with the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of the patients and their families. This book should be of interest to all health professionals who care for dying children and their families, including paediatric nurses, health visitors, midwives, paediatricians and general practitioners.
