Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy are responsible for the spiritual and religious care of patients, visitors and staff. 

A warm welcome from Ustadah Maysoon Shafiq, Chaplaincy Team Lead

In Chaplaincy, we offer a listening ear, religious advice or a safe place to discuss what is on your mind.

All of our Chaplains are skilled and trained in supporting those experiencing loss.

We provide holistic, pastoral, religious and spiritual care to patients, their families and staff. This means, irrespective of someone's faith or belief, when a patient or staff member needs to talk to someone, or needs someone to be with them, we are there.
