Chaplains of Christian Denominations and other Faiths are
available for spiritual and pastoral help and support.
We are based in the chaplaincy office which is currently
situated down the main hospital corridor at New Cross Hospital. If
no one is in the office then please ask a member of staff to page
the on call chaplain.
Chaplains visit the wards on a regular basis, however, if you
would like to see a chaplain immediately please contact the team on
01902 695098 or call ext. 5098. Altenatively please ask a member of
staff to page the on-call Chaplain.
