An exploratory research study in one district health authority demonstrates the significant impact of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 on hospital-based social workers. Identifies five practice elements in the social worker's range of responsibilities: interdisciplinary collaboration, assessment, providing a link between hospital and community, networking and negotiation, and the use of financial acumen. Two areas of debate and dissonance are identified: counselling is not now something that looms large in the social worker's daily round: while the defence of patient rights sometimes involved the social worker in conflicting relationships with other professional groups.
