"The multiprofessional nature of palliative care is reflected in the choice of contributors from a wide range of disciplines whilst retaining a strong link with St. Christopher's Hospice. Palliative physicians, oncologists, general practitioners, nurses and other health professionals caring for patients with advanced progressive diseases will continue to find this an invaluable handbook to be referred to often in the clinical setting."--Jacket
