Has this powerful vision been achieved? This state-of-the-field book argues that palliative care has drifted away from its transformative goals--and shows what to do about it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together leading international scholars and practitioners, \u003ci\u003eWell-Being at the End of Life\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how contemporary palliative care has slowly but surely strayed from its original values and practices. The provision of palliative care now reflects institutional, medicalized, and health-service priorities. Increasingly, it has become solely clinical, confined and constrained by clinical service considerations and limitations. Those at the end of life are all too often viewed as patients to be treated instead of people with whom care providers must create collaboration, participation, and partnerships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors call for a paradigm shift in the values and priorities of palliative care to emphasize the importance of community to personal well-being. Drawing on the concept of health promotion, they advance a shared vision that merges the principles of public health with those of palliative care. Reimagining the field to foreground compassion and interdependence, \u003ci\u003eWell-Being at the End of Life\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new approach that puts community and professional partnerships at the heart of its practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulian Abel is a palliative care physician and visiting professor at Northumbria University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAllan Kellehear is professor of end-of-life care at Northumbria University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbel and Kellehear are cofounders of Compassionate Communities UK and coeditors of the \u003ci\u003eOxford Textbook of Public Health Palliative Care\u003c\/i\u003e (2022).\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377697710387,"sku":"9780231216289","price":64.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bln2oXiPoH9780231216289.webp?v=1779326096","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/well-being-at-the-end-of-life-reimagining-palliative-care-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
