Description
Summary:Using a case study about hospital discharge, this article gives an overview of the work of the charity, Counsel and Care, and its specialist team of advice workers. It takes us through how an advice worker would handle a typical case by gathering the necessary background; identifying the key issues and where the information gaps lie; then offering advice to the client. It also details a number of supplementary services that the charity offers to provide a full advocacy service. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
