Chaplaincy (multi-faith)
Hospitality of the heart—hospitality for the human spirit
The Multi-faith Chaplaincy Team provides spiritual, pastoral and religious care for all patients, relatives and staff in our hospitals.
We reach out with love and support to those who are unwell or afraid. We are chaplains from the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faiths, and from the Humanist tradition. We can also call on representatives from other faith and belief groups to support people.
Being in hospital can be a worrying and anxious time. Patients often tell us—whether they are religious or not—that they have discovered an increased sense of strength, peace and hope by discussing their concerns with a member of the hospital’s Chaplaincy Multi-Faith Team.
Hospital staff members regard the Multi-Faith Chaplaincy Team as a non-partisan ‘listening ear’ and a source of confidential support.
To speak to a chaplain, for a bedside visit, prayer or Holy Communion ask a member of staff to refer you to the chaplaincy team.
We offer a 24-hour service.
Prayer times
For bedside prayers or Communion, please contact the chaplaincy or ask a member of staff to refer you to the chaplains.
