The UK Association of Supportive Care in Cancer Handbook of Supportive Oncology
What does supportive care do that palliative care doesn't already do? Answering that question forms part of the rationale behind this text. Supportive care should encompass a wide range of diverse disciplines and practices, ranging from symptom management, to rehabilitation, to social, spiritual, and psychological support, patient information, and complementary therapies. Supportive care is, therefore, delivered across the whole cancer experience from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care, and so necessitates the involvement of most clinical specialties and many non-clinical services. Palliative care - which focuses on advanced disease and end of life - has a special and important role within this broader and longer-term scope of supportive care in cancer.This handbook defines the new and emerging specialty and equips its workforce with the appropriate skill sets. Supplies the framework of knowledge and orientation for the best interactions with patients Focuses on the essential points needed by those in training Provides the ideal starting-point for a professional career in Supportive Oncology

The Revision of the Diagnostic Statistic Manual iv-v for Mental Disorders
A Philosophical Approach to Mental Health Based on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Hermeneutics
There is a need for innovative and holistic interventions to address mental illness. Conventional approaches tend to overlook individualized experiences and experiential dimensions and these oversights lead to limited understanding and insufficient treatments, thereby compromising patient outcomes. In this study, based on his doctoral research, Edmond Charley reviews a novel approach to mental health based on philosophy, specifically Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutics. This prioritizes and values professional empathy, interpretation, and interactions between caregivers and patients in understanding and treating mental illness. The analysis offers valuable insights that will benefit mental health professionals and practitioners, including social workers, nurses, patient advocates, and more.
The Doctors We Need
In The Doctors We Need, Dr. Anthony Sanfilippo, a respected cardiologist and former Associate Dean of Medical Education at Queen's University, confronts a startling reality: in a nation proud of its pledge to universal healthcare, over 6 million Canadians lack a family doctor. This crisis persists despite massive investments in medical education and institutions. We need to think differently.Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the classroom and at the bedside, Dr. Sanfilippo exposes--with elegance, wit, and empathy--how our legacy processes for recruiting, educating, and promoting hyper-specialization in medicine have failed to adapt to the basic healthcare needs any Canadian should expect. Through compelling real-life accounts, he illustrates: The impact of outdated selection and training methods on doctor shortagesHow our complex, siloed medical education system lacks crucial oversightWhy current approaches fail to produce doctors with the diverse skills needed todayThis groundbreaking book doesn't just diagnose the problem--it prescribes solutions that alter incentives for decision-makers and embrace a new path for aspiring family physicians. Dr. Sanfilippo proposes innovative reforms in three critical areas: Doctor selectionMedical education and trainingHealthcare workplace environmentsThe Doctors We Need is a call to action, challenging Canadians, medical schools, and our political leaders to embrace urgent, disruptive change in the face of clear and present needs. It offers a practical roadmap for ensuring every Canadian has access to quality primary care. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in Canada, this book provides the blueprint for transforming our medical system to truly serve all Canadians.
