A Day In The Life Of...

An Adult Assessment and CDG Social Worker

I’m Daniel, a Social Worker in the Adult Assessment and CDG (Care Delivery Group) Social Care Team. There are 8 Social Workers who each cover one of the 8 CDG areas in Nottingham. CDG Social Workers assess and co-ordinate appropriate care and support provisions for local citizens/patients and their families. Working in a CDG allows for Social Care integration with GP’s, Nurses and Neighbourhood Teams. We assess and support adults 18+ to transform the way that care is provided for people with long-term conditions; thereby enabling people with complex needs to live healthier, fulfilling and independent lives.
