Spiritual Support

We seek to foster hope and promote wellbeing within an integrated care approach. The Chaplaincy Team are available to everyone - patients, their relatives and visitors, staff and volunteers. We offer a range of support, from a 'listening ear' to helping individuals to make sense of difficult life events, by the exploration of existential and spiritual issues. The views of the individual are always respected, whatever their philosophy of life.

We provide specific ministry for those who have a religious belief and when appropriate, will arrange for a leader or advisor from a particular faith group to visit.

The chapel is open 24 hours a day as a place of sanctuary, quietness and peace for everyone. It is furnished with symbols, books, and other resources for all the main faith groups.

Although all members of the Specialist Palliative Care Team provide a level of spiritual support, we are also fortunate to have a dedicated Chaplaincy Team which supports all faiths and beliefs.

Facilities for both patients and loved ones include:

• Pastoral care
• Spiritual support
• Religious ministry
• Multi-faith resources
• Bereavement support - funeral services etc.
• Services of Remembrance throughout the year
• Training and education
• Staff support
