London England: Michael O'Mara, 1989. Hardback. Prev owners name inside. Foreword by HRH The Duchess of Kent. There is hardly anyone in Britain whose life will remain untocuhed by hospices - either for themselves, their family or their friends. No one can predict with any certainty that they will not, at some time, need the warmth, the love and the completeness of caring that is a hospice. This book is for all patients - curable and incurable - who may have need of a hospice at some time in their lives, for many hospices (or continuing care units as some prefer to be called) take in patients who will survive for some time, along with those who will not. So where is your nearest hospice? How do you contact it? How do you set about getting a patient accepted there? And will they take day-patients? This book offers a valuable short-cut, gathering the mass of information available from a wide variety of sources and condensing it into the layman's first comprehensive step-by-step guide to the rapidly growing hospice movement. This book is for you. Illustrated. 176 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
