Spiritual and Pastoral Care
There are Chaplains in the hospitals who are available to spend time with you if you would like to talk about anything, whether related to your faith or not. If you would like any support we can arrange to meet with you. Depending on your situation we are able to visit you or speak to you on the phone or on FaceTime. If this is something you would like to know more about, please do ask a member of ward staff to contact us.
Alternatively, you can email us at contactachaplain@nuh.nhs.uk
We hope the following resources will also help you.
