Cicely Saunders : The Founder Of The Modern Hospice Movement (Updated [ed.])

Dame Cicely Saunders was the founder of the Hospice Movement, in which Britain leads the world.

Her work transformed our approach to the care of the dying, and also the debate about euthanasia.

She died in 2005 and her memorial service was held in Westminster Abbey in March 2006.

Over 1600 people attended. This biography, by Shirley du Boulay, includes a 4-page plate section and new chapters by Marianne Rankin covering the years after 1984.
