Support of Patients

Chaplaincy aims: 

  • To visit all wards regularly where we will be pleased to stop and spend time with patients or their relatives

  • To offer support to all patients, their families and friends, at a difficult and challenging time in their lives

  • To stand alongside people - listening, offering counsel, showing concern, befriending and helping people to reflect on their situation  

  • To meet religious needs…
     -   through offering counsel, prayer and worship  
     -   contacting local faith leaders of most world faiths upon request
     -   bringing Holy Communion to the bedside for patients 
     -   arranging for patients to attend the Sunday Chapel services

The Chapel and Multifaith Room are available to all for prayer and peace.

We welcome referral of patients who might appreciate support.  Please see our home page for details of our telephone numbers which carry a confidential voicemail.
