The authors have extensive experience in palliative and end of life care and bring it to this inspiring book; they set out a clear process through the end of life care journey and use excellent case studies throughout. A subject rarely covered in books such as these is sudden unexpected death, to which the authors devote a chapter. The discussion is thought provoking and it is an area of care students are likely to be required to consider and manage. I recommend this book to students and mentors who would like to explore end of life care in more depth.
"This book serves as a manual for total patient and family care at the end of life....Though the information has been provided by multiple other authors..., the strategies of delivery make this text unique and possibly more effective. A useful resource for new and seasoned end-of-life caregivers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners."
...Its strengths lie in its readability, unpretentious language and its correlation to everyday nursing practice. The evidence base is strong, bang up to date and used wisely to support the pragmatic advice offered...This is a book worthy of success...
'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! The chapters are clear and easy for undergraduate students to understand. The use of case studies in particular strengthens the book and brings the discussion into the real-life practice context' - Gillian Walton, Northumbria University
This is a clearly written book that provides an essential knowledge and understanding to the undergraduate nursing students. The clear learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provides a clear outline. The reflective questions and action points throughout the book are very beneficial to stimulate thinking as the reader progress with their reading.
Excellent book for those wishing to look in more depth at end of life care . Recommended to our LRC to enable our students who are working within this field of care to do further reading.
Fits in nicely with Together for Health document
this is more for learners that are studing in the nursing sector
This is an excellent guide for preregistration nurses and newly qualified nurses. All the chapters guide the nurses through the effects of caring for people who are dying and their relatives. Especially helpful are the chapters about communication and managing own emotions.
All students are expected to have an understanding of end of live essential. It is imperative that they know this topic. This book will enable them to do so.

Excellent resource for my students, appropriate to their educational level, I appreciate it.
This is an excellent resource for the student nurse to use. It particularly deals with end of life nursing in a sensitive and empathetic way. The reflective questions sections are really well designed to stimulate further study of this difficualt aspect of nursing care. As an adjunct to the main nursing textbooks, this resource will be an immense support to the student and qualified nurse alike.
