Social work in health care
Research in this area is conceptualised broadly, underpinned by understandings of the social determinants of health and health inequalities for individuals, groups and communities. This includes the health and wellbeing of individuals and their social relationships, health policy and innovation; the organisation and delivery of health services and local, national and global health initiatives. Discursive, theoretical, empirical and practice-based approaches, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies support research inquiry in this field.
