Education in cancer and palliative care has evolved rapidly in recent years, at the same time that there has been a revolution in electronic information delivery. So what are the bet strategies
and methods for delivering such education? Just as importantly, how do we enable our students to be independent learners and critical thinkers?
This book is directed at those responsible for cancer and palliative care education, both primary and on a continuing basis. It describes a wide range of methods and techniques, covering a
spectrum of educational topics in palliative care. Chapters cover the relationship between education and clinical governance, education about “morphine myths”, death anxiety, spirituality and
life review, psychoneuroimmunology, aromatherapy, and why and how palliative care education should be evaluated. This book will be a welcome and most useful resource for educationalists in the
field of cancer and palliative care.
