The power of palliative social work
Palliative Social Work has a rich tradition of providing psychosocial and psychological interventions in support of people managing serious illness. We use a “person-in-environment” perspective which helps us to see the whole person, how illness may impact their life, family and psychological well-being as well as the practical aspects of living such as finances and housing.

What our Colleagues say
“If ours were a logical system, most people working and most of the money in healthcare would be under the control of social workers…social workers never look away.”
