Its objective was to research the productions of the CFESS/CRESS group on the role of Social Workers in Health Policy, which had as its methodological choice the bibliography review and bibliographic survey. In this sense, the construction of the monograph was based on historical constructions and the trajectory in the Unified Health System – SUS, highlighting the importance of the Health Reform process, for the construction and consolidation of the Brazilian health system, as a public social policy. Therefore, firstly, a historical analysis of this trajectory is carried out, in a non-linear timeline with contradictions that will present the challenges of social policy.
