Chaplaincy/Pastoral Care Department Chaplaincy Department The Chaplaincy Department like every other department within the hospital represents a very specific and professional discipline. It works with other professional disciplines in providing an overall or holistic service that is geared to total patient care and ministry to the family. The Department is interdenominational in character and all members are professionally trained for their work. The Department has two main functions: • To provide Pastoral & Sacramental Service to patients, their families and staff. • To provide Educational Programmes for the ‘In-Service Training’ of student chaplains. Chaplaincy <strong>St</strong>aff Since the last annual review, there have been no changes in personnel. Return to Contents 116
Department - Chaplaincy/Pastoral Care Service When patients are admitted to hospital in need of healing for a physical or emotional illness, they often bring with them other concerns that range over the psychological and spiritual dimensions of their lives. Being aware of their many concerns the Chaplaincy Department responds at different levels: • In the administration of the sacraments and in providing appropriate spiritual care and counselling to patients. • The need for this care is acutely felt at times of great anxiety such as major surgery and especially terminal illness. • Much time is spent with families of patients, supporting those shattered by the terminal illness of those closest to them and later in consoling the bereaved. • The Chaplaincy Department continues to provide a twenty-four hour service in the hospital. The team consists of three full time Roman Catholic priests, five part time priests, one Church of Ireland ordained Minister, three chaplains from the Religious Sisters of Charity and two lay chaplains. The Department is very fortunate to have over forty lay volunteers who serve as Ministers of the Eucharist and assist in bringing the Blessed Sacrament to patients on a daily basis. During the past year the chaplains attended at over seven hundred deaths and made 60-80 pre-operation visits per week to patients who had requested a visit. Added to these were the pastoral visits made on a daily basis to the wards. Return to Contents 117
