A significant achievement has been David’s work to enhance social work support for people at the end of their lives, securing funding and developing specialist palliative care social work team in Northumberland with a leading Cancer Charity who commented that David’s “excellent social work reasoning and strategic thinking” played a key part in the success of this development bid.
David has a keen interest in Integrated Social Care and Health services and was one of the first social work representatives to join the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). David’s experience and professional development culminated in his being nominated as a finalist and winner of the Leadership category of the 2015 National Social Worker of the Year awards.
