The government is having another go at this: I rather enjoyed the picture strip style of the last campaign. I wish they would think about saying more about social work than the basic jobs that the government is interested in. When you’ve done those for a while, it’s a good career incentive to know you can earn reasonable pay doing interesting and well-evaluated work in palliative care scoial work.

Still, it’s all positive stuff about social work.

A futher pic of the new St Christopher’s. Aside from appointments with your doctor, nurse, social worker etc, you can also book to have a bath. We found people really wanted this, not because they couldn’t bath at home sometimes, but because they felt safer when a St C’s nurse was around to respond in an emergency:Bath suite 2
