The Palliative Care Consultant (PCC) provides practical recommendations for palliative symptom management in adult patients. The aim of this guide is to equip all practitioners who care for patients with life-limiting conditions, whether they have hospice-specific training, or only occasionally see a patient in hospice or palliative care.

For hospice and palliative care clinicians, this book may be used as a resource for support of current practice and a quick reference guide.

For educators and novice practitioners, this book may be used as a training guide to address the basics of hospice and palliative care and assist learners in developing a comprehensive plan for symptom management.
