| Description: |
A Really Practical Handbook of Children’s Palliative Care for Doctors
and Nurses Anywhere in the World offers really practical solutions to
common problems faced by health professionals caring for dying children
and their families, whatever their culture or socioeconomic
circumstance. After spending more than twenty years caring for children
with terminal diagnoses, Dr. Justin Amery has applied his hands-on
experience and the fruits of his research to this compendium of
practical advice.
The free ebook’s fifteen parts address not only the numerous practical matters
that arise in offering palliative care to children, but also the
intangible, yet vital, practices for communicating bad news, helping
families with their emotional reactions, assisting children and their
families with ethical and spiritual issues, and working with surviving
family members as they grieve.
The volume also includes, as an additional resource, the Association of
Paediatric Palliative Medicine Formulary. |
