Looking at health through the widest lens Part 1, Rosalie Pockett AM

AASW – Social Work People Podcast

Rosalie Pockett AM never intended to stay in hospital social work. At first its scope was too narrow, but once she ‘widened the lens’ she was using to look at it, she saw how to achieve the two things she was most interested in doing: overturning the inequities in people’s access to healthcare; and building partnerships between social workers and researchers. These are what she describes as the two strands of her career interest. The way she weaves the strands together has led to her receiving an Order of Australia. This is the first of two episodes discussing these topics.
