Our chaplaincy team works as part of the overall healthcare team, seeking to create a calm and comforting environment in which individual needs can be recognised valued and safeguarded. Chaplains are often uniquely placed to relate to individuals in their ill health, to discern their needs and provide forms of pastoral care.
They can help nurture wellbeing, foster hope and support people through the transitions which accompany a period of ill health. This is not confined to emergency situations or moments of crisis but also to meet everyday spiritual needs.
Chaplains are available to patients, relatives and staff at any time to:

Roman Catholic Churches and Free Churches are on call at all times. Ministers of other faiths are available to patients on request.
