Your Spiritual Care and Wellbeing

It is recognised that working in a health care setting is stressful and may lead people to question their personal beliefs and philosophy including their understanding of life, death, illness, suffering and ethical issues.

The Spiritual Care and Wellbeing department offers personal and professional support to staff, holistic person centred spiritual care. Chaplains can offer an informed, confidential resource to enable individuals and groups to reflect on their beliefs, philosophy and practice.

Developing staff resilience is a proactive approach to providing staff support. What we offer:

  • Individual Support that includes, compassionate listening and pastoral supervision.
  • Group support (Supporting staff through Critical Incidents, Pastoral Supervision, Values Based Reflective Practice).
  • Rituals and ceremonies (such as memorial services).
  • Spiritual Care Centre a physical space that is open 24/7, a quiet zone to think, pray or meditate.
  • Spiritual Care Network if you want to get involved.
  • Training (e.g. resilience, spiritual care).
