Description

As someone approaches the end of their life, it is vitally important that they receive quality care and support, that their wishes are met, and that they are treated with dignity and respect.

Pathways through Care at the End of Life is a comprehensive guide to providing excellent, person-centred end of life care.

Following a pathway from initial conversations about end of life to care in the last days of life and after death, it covers assessing need and planning care, co-ordinating care between different agencies, and ensuring quality in different settings, such as at home, in a hospice, or in hospital.

Good practice guidance on communication, ensuring the person's needs are met, support for their family and how to facilitate a good death is given.

Case studies illustrate real life practice, and questions throughout each chapter encourage reflective practice.

This book will be essential reading for all those working with people at the end of life, such as nurses, social workers, GPs and home carers, as well as students in these fields.
