Chaplaincy and pastoral care

We're here to listen, care and support you - whatever you're going through.

Our chaplaincy support is open to patients, visitors and staff, and you don't need to follow any faith to talk to us.

We offer a calm, welcoming space to talk, reflect or simply be listened to. People contact us for many reasons, including anxiety, loss, difficult news or just needing someone to talk to.

Our inclusive service reflects the diverse communities we care for. Our team includes chaplains from a range of faiths, and we also work closely with local faith leaders.

Chaplaincy support is available at all our hospital sites, including Meadow House Hospice.

Urgent referrals

The on-call chaplain can check which priest is available, including a Roman Catholic priest in our local area for urgent sacramental support and end of life support. They can contact them directly, so you and your loved ones can receive timely, compassionate care.
