Compassionate communities are communities that provide assistance
for those in need of end of life care, separate from any official
heath service provision that may already be available within the
community. This idea was developed in 2005 in Allan Kellehear's
seminal volume- Compassionate Cities: Public Health and End of Life
Care. In the ensuing ten years the theoretical aspects of the idea
have been continually explored, primarily rehearsing academic
concerns rather than practical ones. Compassionate Communities:
Case Studies from Britain and Europe provides the first major
volume describing and examining compassionate community experiments
in end of life care from a highly practical perspective. Focusing
on community development initiatives and practice challenges, the
book offers practitioners and policy makers from the health and
social care sectors practical discussions on the strengths and
limitations of such initiatives. Furthermore, not limited to
providing practice choices the book also offers an important and
timely impetus for other practitioners and policy makers to begin
thinking about developing their own possible compassionate
communities. An essential read for academic, practitioner, and
policy audiences in the fields of public health, community
development, health social sciences, aged care, bereavement care,
and hospice & palliative care, Compassionate Communities is one
of only a handful of available books on end of life care that takes
a strong health promotion and community development approach.
