The importance of palliative care for children facing life
threatening illness and their families is now widely acknowledged
as an essential part of care, which should be available to all
children and families, throughout the child's illness and at the
end of life. The new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative
Care for Children brings together the most up to date information,
current knowledge, evidence, and developments of clinical practice
in the field. The book is structured into four sections.
'Foundations of Care' describes core issues, the foundations on
which paediatric palliative care is based. 'Child and Family Care'
looks at different aspects of psychological, social, and cultural
care for the sick child or young person, and their family. These
chapters cover the time course of the illness, around the time of
death and support for the bereaved family. 'Symptom Care' focuses
on the uses of medication, specific symptoms, and their management.
Finally, 'Delivery of Care' examines practical approaches to care
in different environments and the needs of clinicians. Two new
editors join the team from Canada and South Africa, reflecting our
aims to contribute towards the development of care for children
across the world, and to be a resource for both experienced
clinicians and those new to the field. Comprehensive in scope,
exhaustive in detail, and definitive in authority, this third
edition has been thoroughly updated to cover new practices, current
epidemiological data, and the evolving models that support the
delivery of palliative medicine to children. This includes two new
chapters, looking in detail at 'Decision Making' and 'Perinatal
Care', and a new section highlighting the emerging importance of
'Palliative Care for Children in Humanitarian Crises'. This book is
an essential resource for anyone who works with children worldwide.
