The Social Work team works closely with other professionals both within the hospital and in the community to ensure our patients get the support they need.

Please note that this service is free of charge and a referral can be made by your medical team. Once a referral is received you will be contacted by a Social Worker (either by telephone or appointment letter) to set up an initial assessment. We will arrange to have your appointment coincide with other hospital appointments where/if possible

If you wish to speak to a Social Worker, please ask your Midwife, Doctor or healthcare worker who will make contact with the department on your behalf. Alternatively, if you would like to access the service directly, you can contact us on (021) 4927448
