Chaplaincy

The chaplaincy exists to provide spiritual, pastoral and religious support to all patients, visitors and staff appropriate to their needs.

Christian chaplains of the Church of England, Roman Catholic and Free Church traditions are employed by this NHS Foundation Trust, as well as chaplains from the Jewish and Muslim faiths. Faith leaders of other world religions can be contacted by the chaplains.

We are always ready to talk and listen to people, whether they be religious or not.

The chapel and Prayer Room are open 24 hours for the use of anyone who wants to find a place of peace in which to be still, or pray.

Patient information

Posters on the wards give chaplains names and service times. Printed leaflets containing further information or prayers during your stay in hospital are available from the chaplains, who visit the wards regularly.
