Spiritual support and hospital chaplains
Spiritual support and hospital chaplains
Hospital chaplains:
- offer spiritual care to all who seek it, regardless of religious or cultural backgrounds
- connect you with a member of your own denomination or faith if you wish
- provide spiritual support and comfort, prayer, scripture readings and other religious services on request, including Holy Communion.
Chaplaincy assistants (volunteers) are trained to help our chaplains in their work.
Contact
Ask ward/clinic reception staff, or Enquiries to request a chaplain for you.
