Our Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care Team
Our team are here to support patients, families, and staff of all faiths and none through life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re seeking comfort, guidance, prayer, or simply someone to talk to, we’re here for you.
We offer
– Emotional and spiritual support during illness, treatment, or recovery
– Prayer, blessings, or rituals tailored to your beliefs
– Quiet spaces for reflection, meditation, or prayer
– Support during bereavement or difficult decisions
– Access to faith leaders from a wide range of traditions
You don’t need to be religious to speak with a chaplain. We’re here to listen, support, and walk alongside you, whatever your beliefs or background.
About our team
We are a team of seven chaplains and nearly thirty volunteers. A number of faiths are represented. We can also call on representatives of many different faiths when required.
We support people in many different situations: feeling anxious or lonely, worried or in pain, or just needing to chat. We are often called on towards the end of life or to comfort people who are newly bereaved. All our conversations with patients or staff are confidential and pastorally sensitive.
The Hospital Chapel is located on the main corridor near to the main entrance. It is a place of quietness and calm, and is open every day: all are welcome to visit it to rest, reflect, meditate or pray. Next to the Chapel is a multi-faith Prayer Room equipped with washing facilities and prayer mats.
