Health and Social Care

This research focus concentrates on the first level of social and medical support: primary care. Its goal is to provide recipients with assistance in maintaining or bringing about personal physical, social and mental well-being. To this end, researchers from this focus area look at tools designed to empower local or social communities to build up and make use of their own resources.

Working together with emergency control centres, social workers can support patients who are in need of primary psychosocial care. Social workers at primary care centres are involved in planning bio-psychosocial assistance, in close consultation with doctors.
