Healthcare social work is a specialty within the social work field. Healthcare social workers help patients navigate the world of healthcare by helping them access services and education related to health issues.

They can help individuals do everything from find medical care to help pay for medical care to recover from an illness or injury. This might include offering advice, acting as a patient advocate, or referring a patient to specific facilities or programs.

Healthcare social workers act as client advocates, educators, advisors, coordinators of care, and strive to preserve the healthcare and dignity of the population they serve.

Healthcare social workers typically work closely with a number of different individuals, including doctors, nurses, patients, and patients’ families. They need to have or develop certain skills, such as listening, patience, critical thinking, complex problem solving, and organization. The focus of the job is to help people who do not know where to find help.

Although most social workers work in an office, they may spend a lot of time away from the office visiting clients. They can be employed in clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, mental health, and other health care settings.

Social workers can be involved in the society as they:

Provide counselling to individuals, couples and families 

Develop and conduct support groups

Perform community health needs assessments and participate in community health planning 

Plan, develop and evaluate community programs 

Analyze programs and policies

Develop and deliver specialized programs, services and cultural activities  

Prepare and maintain assessments and statistical reports 

Contribute to research initiatives 

Write grants and raise funds 

Work with volunteers to support and enhance program goals 

Advocate on behalf of individuals, groups and communities to enact change at the structural level
