Who can help if I am in hospital?
Going into hospital can be a worrying time for you, your family and carers.
Hospital social workers are specially trained to help ease your worries and support you with any personal or social problem connected with maternity, children and families, illness, mental illness, an accident or disability.
There is no charge for seeing a hospital social worker, but some of the services they can arrange may require a financial contribution.
