Hospital palliative care teams have been established in rapidly
increasing numbers over the last 20 years, as it has been
recognized that hospices can never transfer the philosophy and
practice of palliative care into the acute sector by simply
existing; the often work as 'stand alone units' and remain outside
mainstream medicine. However, it has become apparent that improving
access to palliative care for patients in acute hospitals is not as
easy as employing external palliative care specialists as
consultants. Even setting up a team of professionals who work
solely in a hospital will often not improve the care of the great
majority of patients being treated there.
Based on the extensive experiences and knowledge of three
clinicians in the area who have developed palliative care services
in acute settings, this book provides those facing the same
challenges with practical guidance and down to earth advice on a
range of problems they might encounter. Using a problem focused and
practical approach, Palliative Care in the Acute Hospital Setting:
A Practical Guide is filled with case-based problems to help
readers identify realistic, usable, everyday solutions. It also
covers the skills and knowledge needed to help teams make progress
in the hospital as well as outlining the best training to help them
continue to flourish.
Written in an accessible style with short and focused chapters,
this clearly laid out book helps readers find the information they
need to tackle particular problems easily and with confidence. With
a supportive outlook and covering the non-clinical management
aspects of palliative care, this book is the ideal guide for
palliative care specialists making the transfer from hospice to
hospital, and for those setting up palliative care teams in the
acute hospital setting.
