✨Introducing Vikki – Our Specialist Palliative Care Social Worker✨
As we celebrate Social Work Week and mark International Social Work Day 2026, we’re shining a light on one of the incredible people at the heart of Great Oaks Hospice Vikki, our Specialist Palliative Care Social Worker.
Vikki provides compassionate, person-centred support to people living with a life-limiting illness, as well as to the loved ones who care for them. Her role is all about helping people navigate some of life’s most difficult moments with dignity, understanding, and practical support.
💛 What Vikki does:
- Offers emotional support to individuals and families coping with serious illness
- Provides bereavement support for adults, whatever the cause of loss
- Helps people access the practical help they need, from benefits and housing, to equipment, community support, and more
- Works alongside our clinical team to ensure every person receives holistic care tailored to their needs.
Her kindness, knowledge, and steady presence make a huge difference to the people we care for. We’re incredibly proud of the essential role she plays within the hospice and the wider community.
Please join us in celebrating Vikki — and all social workers — for the vital contribution they make every day. 💛✨
