Hospital Chaplaincy Awareness Week
7-11 September 2026

For 2026, Hospital Chaplaincy Awareness Week is all about making the spiritual and pastoral care provided by hospital chaplains more visible to the people who need it.

One of the ways we are doing this is by hearing from people like you. We would love to hear about your personal connections to our mission, and to learn about your experiences with hospital chaplains.

STAFF VOICES

“Our Chaplaincy Service are our “behind-the-scene-heroes”.

Quietly, soothing the brows of many patients, and their families.

I always look forward to a chat with the team when they’re on the Ward. They're such a valuable asset to our Hospital”.
