Three members from our Trust’s Chaplaincy attended the University of Huddersfield and participated in the celebration of Nurses day. They gave a presentation together on “Spiritual Care” to nursing students. The presentation was done by Rev George Spencer, Rev Martin Parrott and M Imran Hussain.

Rev George Spencer said: “As a concept ‘spiritual care’ tends to cause anxiety and morph into religious care. As part of a programme to celebrate Nurses Day, three of us from the Trust’s Chaplaincy explored the meaning of spiritual care and how this involves issues of ultimate concerns and values, whether patients and their families are religious or not. We reflected with nurses in training on the benefits of good holistic care for patients, but also how it was an integral part of delivering care.”
