Freeman Hospital Social Work Department

The Social Work Department at Freeman Hospital can work with you to help prepare you for leaving hospital. For people who live in Newcastle, the social workers can:

  • carry out assessments to see if you are eligible for care and support
  • arrange care and support if you need it
  • help you to get short term support to help you recover
  • give you information and advice about options for your care if you are organising it yourself
  • give you information about prevention services, like telecare

This team works for Newcastle City Council.
