About this title

Review:

A developing specialty requires a reference textbook that develops with it, and the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine is just that. Its fourth edition demonstrates the textbook's responsiveness to changing times and an emerging evidence base, capturing the multidisciplinary aspects of palliative care well with its wide editorship - comprised of key clinicians in the field. (European Journal on Palliative Care, Jan 2013)

My opinion remains, given the presentation and the depth of coverage to be found in OTPM 4e, that it deserves its position as the gold standard in palliative medicine. (IAHPC)

Ever since the first edition in 1993, [Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine] has been the reference work in the field. There is little doubt that this new edition consolidates its position as the standard work in palliative medicine. (Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening)
