Work-Based Learning in Primary Care

Now in its third edition Caring for Dying People of Different Faiths covers the practical and ethical issues surrounding caring for people with different faiths. It outlines the various cultures of Jewish Islamic Hindu and Buddhism which are of relevance to health and healthcare and gives practice advice on providing care in a culturally appropriate manner. Considerably expanded and now including a new chapter on Humanism it will be essential reading for all healthcare professionals including doctors and nurses and other hospital and hospice staff treating people with different faiths. 'This modest volume gives the knowledge and the core skills set that can help you access that privileged state of connecting at such a deep level with people who were strangers before they arrived. It helps us ordinary health care people bring a little of the ideal into this imperfect world and it helps us to participate in and share and pass on those moments of spiritual wealth. Now in its third edition this volume has continued to evolve because we all do and the places we live always change. This edition is perfect for where we are now' Linda Emmanuel in the Foreword
