What is Chaplaincy in General Practice?
Chaplains listen attentively to an individual's physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual experiences and needs, while seeking to understand their lived experience.

Chaplains understand that 'spiritual needs' relate to a person's need for meaning and purpose, love and belonging, and hope, whether or not these are expressed in terms of a religious faith and that the health of our inner self affects our wellbeing in every respect.

Chaplaincy in General Practice seeks to help individuals to live in more holistic, integrated ways and so improve their health and wellbeing.
