Mission Statement

The Chaplaincy Department provides spiritual and pastoral support for patients, staff and visitors, appropriate to their cultural and religious needs.

In collaboration with medical, nursing and professional staff, and having due regard to, and respect for the needs of all minorities, we seek to enable individuals and groups in a healthcare setting to respond to spiritual and emotional need, and to the experiences of life and death, suffering, illness and injury in the context of a faith or belief system.

Philosophy

The Chaplains and Faith Representatives are here to help and support you with your spiritual, religious and pastoral needs, whether you are a member of staff, patient or visitor. We visit the wards regularly and hold weekly services in the Chapel, and are also able to pray with you and bring the sacraments to the ward.

Holy books and prayer mats are available on the ward. Please ask for them.
