Chaplaincy

The Chaplaincy Department within the hospital represents a specific and professional discipline. It works with other disciplines in providing a holistic service that is geared to total patient care and ministry to the family. Chaplaincy ministry is about expressing respect and care, about listening in a compassionate way and helping to create a space which recognises the spiritual needs of the patient and family.
