Pastoral Care
Time in hospital can be uncertain, lonely and even scary. Our chaplains are here for you and your loved ones during this time.
Our friendly team is made up of full-time and part-time chaplains representing different faith traditions.
If you would like to speak with a chaplain, please ask your nurse to contact our department or leave a request in the box outside our department door.
If you would like to see a chaplain of another denomination of faith, or a chaplain who speaks a community language, please ask the Pastoral care staff and our team will do our best to organise it.
