I searched "Liz" and "social" and snipped content below, I can massage some of it together later but thought I would offer it up plainly in case it stimulates ideas

consultant, given to patient etc) we need (or the system demands) such
diverse things such as religion, marital status, ethnicity, spouses name,
type of work, spouses ethnicity, patients living conditions, social support, etc.
