To Comfort Always by David Clark
Covers the rise of clinical studies, academic programmes and international collaborations to promote palliative care. It examines the continuing need to provide evidence in support of development and assesses the dilemmas of unequal access to services and pain relieving drugs.
Clark's vast knowledge of his subject and attention to detail is impressive, yet his ability to combine fact with entertaining storytelling makes this an engaging read* Emily Adam, European Journal of Palliative Care *
I would recommend To Comfort Always to everyone working in hospice and palliative care. This book is not long, complicated to read or full of jargon-it provides a richness to our history that I think is essential to our future. * Emma Hodges, Group Chief Executive of St Giles Hospice. ehospice *
I couldn't put this book down[...] If you work in palliative care and have any interest in the origin of our ideals, or you want to know our future hurdles, you will enjoy this book. * Dr. Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice & Palliative Care *
