Healthcare Chaplaincy

Specialist spiritual care for life-changing times

Healthcare Chaplains provide specialist spiritual care for times of illness, injury or life-changing experiences. We support your sense of inner wellbeing, resilience and hopefulness as you navigate these tough times in life.


We don’t come with ready-made answers. We create space for you to work through the things on your mind and support you to make sense of your experiences. We care for everyone equally, and our care for you is personal, unconditional and confidential.

Staff Support

Chaplains offer confidential, person-centred care and support for staff

Chaplains are here to support you, our colleagues.

Working in healthcare can be rewarding and fulfilling, but at times it can have a significant emotional impact.​​

We offer support to individuals and teams through difficult times.

We can…

  • Listen to you and offer support with whatever is troubling you, whether that is a work or personal matter.
  • Support you in times of challenge, change, anxiety, loss or bereavement.
  • Enable you to explore spiritual practices that may be helpful to you (such as prayer, meditation, stillness, reflection, listening to music, reading.)
  • Offer debriefs including Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) - in partnership with one of the trust psychologists.
