In this far-ranging textbook on palliative and end of life care, John Costello and a team of palliative care specialists take a patient-centred approach. Discussing palliative and end of life care across a range of diseases and illnesses, each chapter includes real-life case studies that focus on both the patient experience and the experiences of the family members of service users. Original in its approach to palliative and end of life care, Adult Palliative Care focuses on a range of non-cancer conditions. Thoughtfully balancing theory with practice, and interprofessional in its scope, Adult Palliative Care would benefit any health professional dealing with or working in the field of palliative and end of life care.

Die Etablierung palliativmedizinischer Versorgungsstrukturen im ambulanten Bereich hat in den vergangenen Jahren die ärztliche Betreuung von Palliativpatienten deutlich verändert. Eine an den spezifischen Bedürfnissen schwerstkranker Patienten orientierte Versorgung im häuslichen Umfeld erfordert es, bestehende gesetzliche Regelungen zu hinterfragen, anzupassen oder fortzuentwickeln. Kontrovers diskutiert wird, wie das Grundanliegen des Betäubungsmittelrechts -- Schutz der Bevölkerung vor Abhängigkeit und Missbrauch sowie Sicherstellung der notwendigen medizinischen Versorgung -- mit dem palliativmedizinischen Selbstverständnis der Gewährung einer bestmöglichen Behandlung von Schmerzpatienten in Einklang gebracht werden kann. In diesem Spannungsfeld fasst der Band die Beiträge eines Expertenworkshops zusammen, der 2012 von der Klinik für Palliativmedizin sowie dem Zentrum für Medizinrecht der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen veranstaltet wurde. Ergänzt um Beiträge weiterer Autoren werden aktuelle Konfliktbereiche im Verhältnis von (Betäubungsmittel- )Recht und Palliativmedizin aufgegriffen und im interdisziplinären Dialog beleuchtet.

Data from the World Health Organization indicate that about 40 million people worldwide require palliative care each year. We must face this enormous problem with appropriate welfare policies and training of up-to-date and competent personnel. In this context, a book that collects the experiences of authors with diverse backgrounds, and operating in different settings of palliative care, can be added to the many editorial products on the subject. Over five sections, this volume addresses such topics as palliative care in children, infants, and gynecologic oncology patients; the role of the caregiver; the use of drugs; and ethics, organization, and policy issues. Although this book should not be considered as an exhaustive treatise on palliative care, the many topics covered and the experience and competence of the authors involved make it a useful tool for those who are already experts in the field as well as those who are studying this field.

Chacun de nous souhaite finir ses jours chez lui, entouré des siens et dans son lit. En réalité, nous mourons souvent à l'hôpital, la nuit, et seuls. Comment accompagner au mieux quelqu'un vers la mort, à son domicile ? Les médecins et les soignants sont-ils formés pour un tel accompagnement ? Alain Cordier et Roland Lallemand, relatant ici le récit de quelques fins de vie, montrent que cette voie est possible, dans l'attention des personnes malades et le respect de leurs volontés.Ce précis de soins palliatifs à domicile propose de manière simple des éclaircissements et un soutien à l'entourage, en particulier aux aidants naturels. Il s'adresse aux soignants ou futurs soignants, mais aussi à toute personne qui s'interroge sur un « bien mourir » ou un « mieux mourir », aux malades que nous sommes ou serons. Quelle éthique peut guider le médecin engagé dans l'accompagnement de la fin de vie ? Légiférer est-il toujours la bonne réponse aux questions qui se posent ?Ce livre est un livre d'espoir.
