Editorial Review:

This major new textbook draws together principles and evidence underpinning practice to support nurses working in specialist palliative care settings and end-of-life care. Written by a team of experienced palliative care nurses, the book pulls together expertise in palliative care research, education, and scholarship. The book is structured around three main sections:

• Encountering illness
• Approaching death
• Experiencing loss and bereavement

This book takes a holistic, person-centered approach with suggestions as to how nursing interventions may encompass a socially embedded approach to care. The final section addresses professional issues in nursing and interprofessional working.
