Chaplaincy
Chaplains are members of hospital staff, trained to provide a high standard of spiritual, religious and pastoral care. There are Christian chaplains (Church of England, Free Church and Roman Catholic), Muslim and Hindu chaplains.
Representatives of other faiths - Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist - can be called in to see you. The chaplains are helped by trained volunteer visitors from many Christian denominations and from other faiths.
All hospital staff, including chaplains and chaplaincy volunteers, are bound by strict rules of confidentiality.
Chaplains regularly visit wards and can be called to visit individuals at any time. If you wish to speak to a member of the Chaplaincy Team, please ask a member of staff.
A chaplain will not:
- preach at you or criticise
- push religion at you
- tell your relatives anything you don't want them to know
- visit for too long
But a chaplain will:
- listen and be alongside you
- help you in your healing and recovery
- offer prayers or sacraments
