Had more amazing feedback from readers of #HeDiedWaiting. Unanimous that the book should be used in the education of social work, mental health, and health and social care students. I agree. Can you help me achieve this? RTs appreciated. 1/
I have some postcards (set 2) with quotes from #HeDiedWaiting to giveaway. See learningsocialworker.com for details. These are great for supporting values-based discussions. A teaching resource for social work/nursing PEs, mentors, lecturers using the postcards is coming soon. 2/
