We understand how important it is to have carers, family, friends or other people come to see you while you are in hospital. We also know that these people can give us important information about you, including how you normally manage at home.
Your carers, family, friends or other people may want to help you when they visit. You or your visitors can ask your nurse what visitors can do to help you, and what things staff should do.

- story-telling

Spiritual Support Services
Spiritual care is given during a hospital stay to any person who asks for it. You do not need to be religious or have a faith to benefit from spiritual care.
Spiritual Support Services can give emotional and pastoral support to you, your family and your friends while you are in hospital, in a way that suits you.
If you have a faith or belong to a religious group, Spiritual Support Services may be able to arrange someone from that church or faith to support you.
Please tell us if you would like to talk with someone from Spiritual Support Services.

The Multifaith room is a place for private prayer and individual or group meditation. It’s also used as a Christian Chapel, Jewish Temple and for daily Muslim prayers.
You can access a schedule of weekly worship services on the notice board outside the centre.
The Multifaith room is located in Building 3, Level 2 (street level).
