Accessing Spiritual Care
How can ward staff get spiritual sup- port for patients and families? A patient or family member may: • ask to see a priest, minister, rabbi or other faith representative • be asking deep questions about life ’ s purpose and meaning • need someone to talk to •
wish to confess their sins, receive prayer, listen to sacred readings, or receive sacraments • be nearing the end of life If in doubt, please ask patients and families if they wish to see a faith representative. If possible, ask the person which denomination or faith representative they prefer. If that is not possible, check their EMR for which reli- gion is recorded. You can find the Clergy Contact List on the intranet > Ryde Hospital > non - clinical services > chaplaincy
To find the Clergy Contact List (click the blue box) on the Chaplaincy Intranet Page.
If you ’ re not sure who to ask for, check the guide at the end of the Clergy Contact List.
