Oxford Textbook of Communication in Oncology and Palliative Care cover

Now in paperback, the Oxford Textbook of Communication in Oncology and Palliative Care integrates clinical wisdom with empirical findings. Written by an international team of authors, it draws upon the history of communication science, providing the reader with a comprehensive curriculum for applied communication skills training. An essential resource, the Oxford Textbook of Communication in Oncology and Palliative Care is filled with tips and strategies for effective communication in difficult and challenging scenarios. In focusing on cancer and the end-of-life, it deals with the existential and spiritual challenges found across all of medicine, providing deep insights into what is at stake and how clinicians might optimally respond. This authoritative and wide-ranging book provides clinicians with state-of-the-art and evidence-based guidelines to achieve effective, patient-centred communication in the clinical settings of oncology and palliative care. This edition includes sections on the curriculum for nurses, the core curriculum, and an introductory section on communication science. The chapters embrace specialty issues across the clinical disciplines, from enrolling in clinical trials, working in teams, and discussing genetic risk, to talking about sexuality, infertility, and intercultural issues. An educational perspective is also provided, with chapters covering communication skills training, how to evaluate courses, and international models of training.

For those commissioning, planning, delivering or evaluating communication skills education programmes it provides a wealth of information. For academics and researchers, it is a rich source of up to date evidence...I commend this book as a key textbook for communication in cancer and palliative care. * Dr. Sarah Russell, Head of Research and Clinical Innovation at Hospice UK *
This is an excellent compendium about how we might improve communication in oncology and palliative care and has a truly international list of contributors. * IAHPC, Roger Woodruff *
