Chaplaincy Volunteers
The Chaplaincy is supported by a large number of volunteers who undertake a variety of tasks within the wider Chaplaincy team, including:-
- Escorting patients to and from the Chapel services - see below:
[Queen Alexandra Hospital - Sunday 10.30am, Wednesday (RC) 5pm: St Mary's Hospital Sunday 10.30am] - Providing floral arrangements for the Chapels
- Playing the Organ or Piano
- Assisting the worship Services
- Helping in the office with Administration ("MS Word" users needed)
- Pastoral visiting - see below**
*Escorts: Some Chaplaincy Wheelers come as a team from their church to provide escorts one Sunday each month, others come as individuals. There is a particular need for help at St Mary's Hospital.
**Pastoral visiting: Some volunteers train as Chaplains' Assistants and visit patients on a weekly basis.

Have you ever thought about being on a clinical trial
Long gone are the days when being in a clinical trial sparked fear. At Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, patients are given opportunities to take part in clinical trials, in fact when asked, over 90% of patients believe that others should be offered a clinical trial. They are a vital part of learning more about both health and illness, and aim towards making progress for the future.
