Portfolio by the numbers
Exploring patient care before, after and during surgery, our Anesthesiology books and journals cover topics from obstetric and surgical anesthesia, to pain management and critical care medicine.
In partnership with societies such as the Southern African Society of Anaesthesiologists, our Anesthesiology portfolio publishes best-selling titles for students such as The Beginner’s Guide to Intensive Care and The Primary FRCA Structured Oral Exam Guide 1, and for practitioners such as Journal of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy and Making Sense of Fluids and Electrolytes to support the Anesthesiologists of today and tomorrow.

Journal of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy
The Journal of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy addresses advances in acute, chronic, and end-of-life symptom management as it relates to pharmacotherapy. The Journal publishes original research, timely review articles, case reports, commentaries, book and media reviews, and articles on efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness, availability, delivery systems, ethics, policy, philosophy, and other issues relevant to pharmacotherapy in the management of acute, chronic, and end-of-life pain and related symptoms. The journal also features a “Narratives in Pain” section written by everyday people who have chronic pain themselves or loved ones who do.
Progress in Palliative Care
Progress in Palliative Care is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal with an international perspective, which welcomes original research and review papers on a broad range of topics related to end of life care. It provides a central point of reference for all disciplines of the palliative care team in all settings: medical consultants, nurses, administrators, social workers, chaplains/pastoral care staff, counsellors, pharmacists, information staff, paramedical staff and self-help groups. The emphasis of the journal is on the rapid exchange of information amongst those working in palliative care.
