Illness can not only affect our bodies, but it can also affect our whole lives. Spiritual Care explores hopes and fears, sources of meaning and strength and the relationships and concerns that matter the most in your life.
The Chaplaincy Team is made up of volunteers led by Andy Green who is employed on a full time basis by the Trust as Lead Chaplain and is also a Anglican Priest . The team includes Ordained, Licensed and Lay Ministers as well as non-ministerial providers of pastoral and spiritual support.
Most Community Hospitals have Multi-Faith Rooms which provide an opportunity for prayer or simply quiet reflection. Multi-Faith provision is in place where multi-faith rooms have not yet been provided as well as in our Mental Health Units. Most mainstream faiths are provided for but if you have a faith that is not represented please contact the Lead Chaplain and he will endeavour to cater for your needs.
We also recognise that whilst staff are dedicated to providing a high standard of healthcare and support to patients they also face personal pressures of their own. Confidential chaplaincy support is offered to all staff and is not restricted to work related issues.
