This resource provides practical guidance for clinicians facing challenges in managing symptoms of haemato-oncological patients, as detailed in Palliative Care Consultations in Haemato-oncology.
Designed for busy clinicians, Palliative Care Consultations in Haemato-oncology offers immediate and practical advice for managing clinical problems in haemato-oncological patients. These issues, whether rare or common, can be challenging to navigate. This book compiles current management guidelines from a team of authoritative palliative care specialists, oncologists, and haematologists, ensuring that healthcare providers have access to the latest strategies for patient care.
Patients with haematological malignancies often endure rigorous treatments that require extended inpatient stays, isolating them from their loved ones and daily life. In many cases, the treatment approach is palliative, albeit aggressive, right from the diagnosis. This volume addresses various difficult symptom-control challenges that arise during treatment, providing valuable insights for clinicians who aim to enhance patient comfort and quality of life.
The expertise of haematologists is crucial for delivering optimal care, and Palliative Care Consultations in Haemato-oncology distills this knowledge into practical advice. The book is designed for ease of use, making it suitable for quick reference on the ward or prior to home visits. It serves as a vital resource for healthcare professionals seeking accessible guidance on managing the complex symptoms faced by haemato-oncological patients.
Whilst the target audience is the hospital palliative care team, this concise and reasonably priced volume would undoubtedly also be valuable to doctors and specialist nurses in haematology... Overall I would certainly recommend this book. * Palliative Medicine, 18 *
