The IAHPC has updated Getting Started: Guidelines and Suggestions for Those Considering Starting a Hospice/Palliative Care Service. Published a few years ago, the book has been brought up-to-date and is relevant for readers worldwide.

It answers all the most commonly asked questions. It stresses what not to do as much as what to do. It is free of jargon and is honest about the challenge that faces those "getting started" as a hospice and palliative care service.

The guide is available free of charge. To read the book online or download a PDF copy, visit http://www.hospicecare.com/gs/.
