Briggers70 I can understand your anxiety. I was in this position many years ago and its not easy. Regular contact with your peers is essential as with your supervising colleague. Ensure you are kept fullyinformed of all developements by attending meetings and networking as much as you can. Assert yourself professionally and you will find your new team will respect you. In my case we had nurses, social workers, physios, OTs,clinical psychologists and consultants and it is too easy for any dominant character to assert the lead role. Be courteous and speak up for yourself and your profession. Social work is your field of specialism .Dont let anyone take that away from you. Everybodys an expert on everybody elses job these days . Use referrals as an indication of your skills and experience and refer on to tohers as and when you feel its appropriate. Dont worry. You may find that everyone else in the new team is as worried as you are. Good Luck.
