The Team

Members of the Spiritual and Pastoral Care Team are here to assist in the spiritual, religious and pastoral care of patients, relatives and staff while they are in one of our hospitals. Out of hours the team shares patient care with Chaplains from North Bristol Trust and the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership.

We offer a point of contact for all spiritual and religious needs. For those requests we cannot deliver ourselves, we can contact representatives of faith communities in Bristol to meet a particular need.

We offer a confidential listening ear and can help with ethical questions and decisions.

Members of the team are all trained in aspects of Healthcare Chaplaincy, and come from a variety of religious faiths and traditions. We have an open approach to people of all faiths and none. We are regularly on the wards and around the hospitals and requests can be given to any member of the team by patients, relatives, staff or visitors.

You can call us on 0117 342 6799 or within the hospital on ext 26799.

You can also contact us by email at Chaplaincy@uhbw.nhs.uk .  In an emergency a Chaplain can be contacted by staff 24 hours a day.
