About the Chaplaincy
There is always a chaplain available for patients, relatives and visitors. Their work involves providing pastoral, spiritual and religious support for people of all faiths and none.
Being a companion or resource to those experiencing times of difficulty or anxiety is one of the priorities of their care, as well as providing assistance in contacting leaders of other religious or cultural communities.
We aim to provide pastoral support and spiritual care, to patients, their carers and hospital staff.
We seek to engage with people of all faiths or none, respecting their individuality, integrity and confidentiality.
Where possible we can offer guidance and make appropriate contacts for people of any faith.
The Team
The ecumenical chaplaincy team comprises one full-time and four part-time chaplains, supported by volunteers trained in listening skills.
