Designed for professionals at every level who are new to this area of care, this is a basic introduction to the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and to the key aspects of palliative and supportive care. It offers the first stage of a professional development process that will ensure that a common core of information is available to all staff, helping to reduce inequalities of care. As a concise guide for staff working in all clinical areas, the topics included in this book should be of special relevance to non-professional carers and newcomers to cancer and palliative care. It can also be used as preparation for foundation courses in palliative care.
