We are managing a high demand for our urgent and emergency care services. Please help us to help you, and consider alternative services if you do not have a life-threatening illness or injury. Please contact NHS 111, your GP, or a local pharmacy first for non-emergency concerns.

Chaplaincy

Our chaplaincy team provides spiritual and religious care to our patients, families, and staff from all faith backgrounds or from none, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

They are here for you, your family and relatives, offering advice, prayer and religious services on the wards, at your bedside and in our Sanctuary. They will work with your care team to ensure that you receive the best quality, all-encompassing care.

How can they help you?

They are here to support you, to listen and to talk to you about:

  • worries on admission
  • dealing with difficult news
  • before or after surgery
  • questions about the meaning of life
  • end of life and bereavement support 
  • anything and everything you have on your mind

The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary or ‘Chapel’ is located on the lower ground floor of the hospital. It offers a peaceful space for private prayer, reflection, or simply a moment of quietness in a busy day.

You can request for chaplaincy services by asking a member of your healthcare team to contact them. Alternatively, you can contact 01279 973407/ 01279 973183 or email [email protected].
