Counselling Services - Chaplaincy Team

Ministers from local Churches, representing a number of denominations, work together to provide support and guidance to patients, staff and visitors.

The Chaplains are part of the Hospice team and many people find it helpful to have someone to talk to when they are facing issues about life and death.  The Chaplains are available to talk to whenever you feel you would like to.

Although the Chaplains represent the Christian community, we at the Hospice acknowledge the variety of faiths within our community.  A list of contacts for these communities is maintained and can be accessed by speaking with a member of the Chaplaincy Team or Nursing Staff.

Each Tuesday morning at 11am a service is held in the Prayer Room which is located next to Family Room.  Everyone is invited to attend and should a patient have particular needs, services can be arranged at other times.

We also offer:

Please speak with the duty Chaplain (details can be found on the notice board outside the Family Room) or nurse in charge to make the necessary arrangements.

If it is important to you, then it is important to us and we will do our best to meet the need, whatever it is.

In the Prayer Room you will find a selection of cards with verses on.  Please help yourself to these if you find them helpful.

There is a prayer book left open on the table.  If you would like to write a prayer or requests for prayers in the book, please do so.

At the Tuesday service we always pray for those whose names are there.

If you would like to listen to some soothing music you will also find a stereo unit, along with some tapes.

Please feel free to use it if you wish, but please keep the volume to a level that does not disturb anyone else.
