Summary: What impact can social work make on inequalities in health?Social Work, Health and Equalityopens up a new direction in the practice and theory of social work. Focussing on the profound human suffering which arises from social inequalities in health, it:* shows how social work can make a significant contribution to creating more equal experiences of health and illness* describes the major shifts in conceptualisation, practice and organisation necessary to bring about change. The authors explore these questions in relation to four key aspects of health; health maintenance, illness at home, hospitalisation, and facing death.
