Managing total pain at the end of life: a case study analysis

Laura Middleton-Green Clinical nurse specialist in palliative care, Marie Curie Hospice, Leeds Road Hospital, Bradford

Pain is a complex and individual experience, and those involved in caring for patients in pain often need creative approaches to identify possible causes, meaning and management. This case study explores the unique pain experience of a patient with cancer being cared for in a hospice at the end of her life.
