The Chaplaincy team

The role of the chaplain team in end of life care

Chaplaincy support should be offered to every end of life patient and their family. The team is here to help and offer a listening and supportive presence. 

They offer pastoral care regardless of belief, faith, or world view.

You can contact a chaplain, during office hours by calling ext. 3047 or by calling switchboard and requesting the duty chaplain. Please note they are available 24 hours a day for end of life care.
