Taking Time to Listen

Members of the Spiritual Care Team are available during normal office hours and, for urgent requests out of hours through an on-call system.  We offer confidential, non-judgemental support to patients, families and staff whatever their beliefs or life situations.  If you wish to be visited by someone from your own faith or belief group, we will be glad to help make arrangements.
