| Summary: | Healthcare chaplaincy is going through a period of considerable challenge amidst current financial austerity within public sector provision. However, such cutbacks have sharpened the need for chaplains not only to show that their practice enhances the wellbeing of service users, their carers, staff and organisations but that their contribution is unique and value for the tax payers’ money. This article seeks to enable readers to understand more fully the different roles healthcare chaplain play as an increasingly integrated aspect of healthcare provision. It also describes the need for chaplains to be proficient in the language of healthcare culture as well as pastoral theology and why reflective practice is key to person-centred spiritual care. |
