My friend and former work colleague Eileen McLeod, who has died aged 77, was a probation officer who moved into social work lecturing at Warwick University, where her research mainly focused on the argument that tackling inequalities in healthcare should be a central issue for social work.
Eileen was a co-founder, in 2004, of the Social Work and Health Inequalities Network, which now has almost 400 members in 25 countries, and she also wrote, with me, a book on the subject, Social Work, Health and Equality (2000).
