Retired long ago with my last job being in a hospital. Looked down on and patronised by ‘real’ social workers then do slightly bemused that it’s become mainstream now. That said unless you are a truculent not yo say belligerent and overly confident practitioner working in a hospital with consultants dominating the narrative you will be demorilased very quickly. The “why haven’t you found somewhere I can discharge my patient” argument is relentless. That said “I’m not a housing officer yet” wins you kudos and almost all nurses think you are an asset in other ways too. Ultimately though the social worker is seen as nothing more than a discharge facilitator so I’m not too sure in times of social worker shortages having them in hospitals is productive.

I will qualify my statement first by saying I haven’t read the report. However having read this article it worries me a little we are playing to professional stereotypes. Social workers “get people out of hospital”, out of hospital is “social isn’t it”. Yes of course SWs have a role. But lots of times over the years I have been involved in assessing people’s needs for returning to their home area, and the responsible NHS mental health trust is not to be seen. Sometimes the person has allocated workers in the original NHS Mental Health Trust but they won’t travel out of area for meetings- yes I know we have virtual meetings, but for citizens lets try and do it in person. Where the person has s117 eligibility the Trust doesn’t understand it still has a role to provide around preventative discharge planning. Some NHS MH teams discharge people who are longer term in out of area hospital placements. NHS Trust MH (and LD, and ASD etc) need to see they have a very active role in maintaining contact and engaging in discharge work as well.
