CHAPLAINCY DEPARTMENT SUPPORT FOR STAFF DURING COVID 19
In accordance with the Spiritual Care Policy of NHS Grampian the Chaplaincy department has always offered staff support to NHS Grampian and its partners at any time. This support is especially available during the current Pandemic.
The support is confidential and independent of line management structures. Chaplains are skilled listeners who can assist you in reflecting on the circumstances you have found yourself in, change how you see things and help you with coping strategies.
Religion will not be spoken about, unless raised by you.
If you want to see a Chaplain in Office hours ,8.30am-4.30pm, Monday – Friday , at one of the main sites ( ARI, RACH , AMH , Woodend , Roxburgh House , RCH and Dr Grays ) phone 53316 or 01224 553316
