Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine by Geoffrey Hanks
Long-established as the ultimate palliative care textbook, the 4th edition brings this much-loved book up to date. Its comprehensive, multidisciplinary focus, internationally-recognized editors, and the inclusion of recent developments in the specialty, will all ensure that it retains its reputation as the definitive reference on palliative care.
A developing specialty requires a reference textbook that develops with it, and the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine is just thatIts fourth edition demonstrates the textbook's responsiveness to changing times and an emerging evidence base, capturing the multidisciplinary aspects of palliative care well with its wide editorship - comprised of key clinicians in the field. European Journal on Palliative Care, Jan 2013 My opinion remains, given the presentation and the depth of coverage to be found in OTPM 4e, that it deserves its position as the gold standard in palliative medicine. IAHPC Ever since the first edition in 1993, [Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine] has been the reference work in the field. There is little doubt that this new edition consolidates its position as the standard work in palliative medicine. Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening
