My book written with Margaret Reith has now been published in the UK, and a couple of months ago in the US. It is called Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care. It tries to take a more sociological and less psychological view of palliative care social work than many other writings on this subject, and emphasises the importance of practitioners in all social work settings being competent to respond to end-of-life issues, transferring that knowledge from palliative care practitioners. In that way, it connects with UK government policy in the end-of-life care strategy, although we wrote it because this was a good viewpoint for social work, and best for the people who use our services. We’re pleased to be at one with the government.
