Introducing Palliative Care

The 6th edition has been fully revised to reflect current practice in palliative care. It is structured into four parts, covering essential aspects of palliative medicine and includes the updated Palliative Care Formulary, providing core information about drugs commonly used in palliative care.

Key updates include an expanded ethics chapter, addressing medically assisted dying, and clinical guidance focused on advanced cancer while remaining applicable to other progressive, life-limiting conditions. While primarily aimed at clinicians, the text also offers valuable insights for students and graduates from related health disciplines.
