Health
Care Chaplaincy http://www.chaplains.co.uk/siteindex.htm
is a service provided to patients, their carers and staff within the
health care setting, which involves sharing and meeting their existential,
spiritual, religious and pastoral needs. Chaplains are trained to serve
appropriately the needs of those of different faiths, of different denominations
and of no particular faith. Spiritual Care is person centred care which,
through affirmation, enables a person to make the best use of all their
personal and spiritual resources in facing and coping with the doubts,
anxieties and questions which arise in a health care setting and often
accompany ill health and suffering.
Glasgow Palliative Care Information Network
The Website contains information for Health Care Staff and the General
