| Annotation | American social workers from clinical, academic and research settings met in 2002 for a national Social Work Leadership Summit on Palliative and End-of-Life Care. Participants placed the highest priority on the development and broad dissemination of a summary document of the state-of-the-art practice of social work in palliative and end-of-life care. Nine Summit participants reviewed the literature and constructed this detailed description of the knowledge, skills and values that are requisite for this particular social work role. This comprehensive statement delineates individual, family, group, team, community and organisational interventions that extend across settings, cultures and populations. It encompasses advocacy, education, training, clinical practice, community organisation, administration, supervision, policy and research. This document is intended to guide preparation and accreditation of professional social workers, to assist interdisciplinary colleagues in their collaboration with social workers, and to provide the background for the testing of quality indicators and "best practice" social work interventions.
