- A fourth edition of the hugely successful Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine, which has gained a reputation as the definitive guide to the field
- Six international editors guarantee a truly global perspective
- 200 contributors and over 100 chapters deal with all aspects of this rapidly developing specialty
- Two-colour, updated text design aids navigation
New to this edition - Four new editors, Russ Portenoy, Nicholas Christakis, Stein Kaasa and Marie Fallon, join the established team of Geoff Hanks and Nathan Cherny to bring this hugely successful text up to date
- Completely new section on the international status of palliative medicine, including new chapters on: international progress in creating palliative medicine as a specialised discipline; special problems in the United States (where palliative medicine has recently become an accredited specialty); providing palliative care in the developing world; and the IAHPC list of essential medicines for palliative care
These changes reflect the worldwide development of palliative medicine and particularly the recent developments in the United States which are establishing palliative medicine as an accredited specialty.
- New chapters in the Challenge of Palliative Medicine section include: barriers to the delivery of palliative care; defining a good death; and the economic challenges of palliative medicine
- Increased focus on the multidisciplinary team including new chapters on the core team and the extended team
- Research section includes new material on clinical trials, and measurement of pain and other symptoms in the cognitively impaired
- New chapters on withdrawing life support, clinical management of bleeding complications, end stage heart disease, end stage renal failure, palliative medicine and dementia, informatics, and sedation
Following publication of the first edition in 1993, the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine rapidly established itself as the definitive textbook on the subject. Each edition has received widespread critical acclaim, and the book is used across the world by the wide range of health care professionals involved in the care of patients with a terminal illness, or chronic, progressive conditions. Existing readers who automatically turn to the textbook will welcome this updated edition of their familiar reference, whilst it
will prove a fascinating read to a new generation of palliative care professionals.
The rapid development of the specialty means the textbook is always thoroughly revised between editions, and the fourth edition is no exception. The original editors Geoffrey Hanks and Nathan Cherny are joined by 4 new editors who are leaders in the field, and represent a more global editorial approach than ever before. The multi-disciplinary nature of palliative care is emphasised throughout, whilst an entire section looks at the individual professional roles that contribute to the best-quality palliative care. Ethical issues are explored, including topical chapters on the controversial issues of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining therapy, and euthanasia and
physician-assisted suicide. Communication issues and the psychiatric, spiritual, and psychosocial issues so integral to modern palliative care are covered in depth. As palliative care has become an established and accepted specialty, there is the need for the evidence-base to match other areas of clinical medicine, and a section looks specifically at research in palliative care. The treatment of symptoms is comprehensively covered, with particular focus on the management of pain. Specific chapters are devoted to the role of palliative care in non-malignant diseases and conditions, whilst education and training are highlighted as critical to future best practice.
The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine has continually evolved, keeping pace with the changing face of
palliative care, and this new edition ensures that it remains at the forefront of the specialty. No hospital, hospice, palliative care service, or medical library should be without a copy.Readership: This book is aimed at all health care professionals working in palliative care, oncology, and the care of patients with chronic, non-malignant, progressive diseases; this includes specialist palliative medicine physicians, oncologists, specialist nurses, geriatricians, surgeons, and family physicians.

Review(s) from previous edition
"'This new edition consolidates the position of the Oxford Textbook as the definitive text in Palliative Medicine. It remains a very readable, well-resourced and well-presented book.' - Hospice Information Bulletin, March 2004
"'Its predecessors, published in 1993 and 1998 respectively, garnered high praise and wide acceptance, establishing the Oxford Textbook as the gold standard reference text in our rapidly expanding field. The third edition continues this proud tradition... a wonderful testament to a rapidly growing body of knowledge in a dynamic new field of health care competence.'" - Palliative Medicine, July 2004
"'This textbook will remain a core text.'" - International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 2004
"'When the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine was first published in 1993 it was immediately acclaimed as the best and most comprehensive textbook in the field. Specialists in palliative medicine came to regard both the first and second edition (published in 1998) as indispensable sources of reliable information to assist in the management of complex problems... Should libraries, palliative care teams, medical schools and individual specialists invest in the new tome? My answer would be an unequivocal yes.'" - Professor Mike Richards CBE, National Cancer Director in Palliative Medicine, July 2004
"'This book will remain the gold standard reference in palliative medicine for the next few years at least. The editors are to be congratulated on the successful completion of what is a very impressive reference.'" - IAHPC Website, January 2004
"When a book with the title 'Oxford Textbook' lands on your desk, you know there is a fair chance that this will be a quality book and without doubt this one is. ...at a shade under £60, all practices should have a copy. It is simply brilliant and seemingly covers everything. ...1244 pages of packed text which results in a superb reference resource. There is a lot of wisdom within its pages and offers a lot to hospice based and community based palliative care teams as well as the general practioner. There are a large number of contributors from a number of countries which provides a global perspective, this gives more stature to the book. ...an outstanding and superb book and an essential addition to anyone that has to deal with a palliative care patient.'" - Dr Harry Brown, July
2007
"'This textbook gives a good overview of palliative care and medicine and every medical oncologist should have access to this standard of care.'" - Annals of Oncology
"' . . . the gold standard reference for palliative medicine.'" - IAHPC Website
