Death by Appointment

Death by Appointment What the reviewers said: ‘I found this book highly thought provoking, and would recommend it for all nurses, not just those working in palliative care’ Title: Death by Appointment Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing What was it like? ‘Death by Appointment’ – a stark title for a book – but far from a work of fiction. The book, written by two experts in the field, informs the reader about the complexities of the ‘assisted dying’ debate, from a wide aspect – spanning from legal to medical, and a whole range in between. This book does not pull any punches. Issues of ethics, morals, the psychosocial, the burden on both professionals and patients, and safety are dealt with head on and are highly thought provoking.
