Gail Fairley

Social Worker, Toronto General Hospital

The MSICU Social worker assesses the complex psychosocial needs of patients and their families and provides support and counselling to reduce the distress associated with critical illness.  Social work can help clarify potential misperceptions, enhancing communication among patients, their families, and the medical team members. I also have expertise in helping SDM’s discern their loved one’s wishes for goals of care based on the patients’ values, beliefs and life goals.
