Public health approaches to palliative care have been growing in
policy importance and practice acceptance. This innovative volume
explores the major concepts, practice examples, and practice
guidelines for this new approach. The goal of continuity of care' -
seamless support for patients in their experiences and transitions
from community to primary health services to inpatient services -
means that health promotion and community development become
important ways to achieve a holistic health approach to end of life
care. In developing contexts, where hospitals and hospices may be
inaccessible, a public health approach provides not only continuity
of care but greater access to good end of life care. This book
provides both a historical and conceptual overview whilst offering
practical case examples from affluent and developing contexts, in a
range of clinical settings. Finally, it draws together
research-based guidelines for future practice. Essential reading
for public health researchers and practitioners with an interest in
end of life care and global health as well as those involved in
developing palliative care provision, International Perspectives on
Public Health and Palliative Care is the first volume to present an
overview of theory and practice in this emerging field.
