The chaplaincy team aims to provide care for the whole person: illness or injury affects not only the physical well-being of a person but their whole lives in a variety of ways. Coming into hospital is often stressful and sometimes frightening. Whatever the circumstances, the chaplain or chaplaincy volunteer is there to listen and give support in a variety of ways.
This can involve:
- Talking through issues concerned with faith, fear and doubt
- Praying with patients and/or their families or friends
- Bringing Holy Communion to patients who request it
- Anointing and Laying on of Hands at times of acute illness
- Hearing confessions
