The Spiritual Care Team is here for you. The Spiritual Care Team is part of the Health and Social Care Team and we are here to support patients, relatives, visitors and staff in the context of illness, injury or loss.
We offer compassionate, person-centred care and this service is available to the whole hospital community – people of all backgrounds, faiths and belief groups and none.
The Spiritual Care Team can support you if you are:
- feeling anxious, worried or afraid
- dealing with a new diagnosis or difficult news
- undergoing or recovering from surgery
- needing support with your faith or values
- coping with loss and bereavement
- trying to make sense of your situation
- simply in need of someone to listen sensitively to all you are dealing with
Sanctuary Space
There is a Sanctuary on most of the hospital sites within Western Isles and you are very welcome to drop in and spend time there.
You might be looking for a quiet space, a place for reflection or for a time for prayer. Various reading materials and religious items are available for you to use if you would find them helpful.
An NHS Healthcare Chaplain is always on-call and ward staff or Reception can arrange for them to be paged.
