We moved to a new Spiritual Care Centre just off the hospital’s main corridor (close to ward 4, the hospital pharmacy and opposite the Surgical Ophthalmic Unit) in autumn 2023.
The centre comprises a quiet room for private reflection, meetings and pastoral care; a Christian chapel with prayer board for prayer requests; separate prayer and ablution facilities for male and female Muslim worshippers; as well as an information board and offices for the Chaplaincy team.
It is open from 6am to 10pm. Please ask a member of staff if access is required outside these hours.
