The chaplaincy at Frimley Health offers compassionate care and pastoral support to all patients and their families and to all staff.
This support is available whatever your religious beliefs, and to those who follow no religious faith.
We recognise that coming into hospital can be a difficult time for you and your family and friends. Our role is to just 'be there' for you, offering a non-judgemental and confidential listening ear and a safe place to chat or share concerns, explore questions or reflect on decisions.

Spiritual needs
We recognise that all people have spiritual needs even if they do not follow a particular religion or faith. These include emotions, relationships, fears, hopes, identity and purpose. Spiritual needs can relate to a specific faith, religion or culture, they can be unique to an individual’s experiences, values and beliefs.
Spiritual care
We recognise the value of spiritual care, and are part of the all-round care for each patient, their visitors, and for everyone working in hospital. We are experienced and trained to offer non-judgmental support, whatever a person’s faith, perspective or lifestyle. Some want to talk through some of the pressures and problems they are facing, others need a companion for this part of their journey and value us being alongside them for a while.
Frimley Park Hospital
The chapel
The chapel at Frimley Park Hospital is on the ground floor, off Yellow Street, facing the emergency department corridor. It is open 24 hours a 
day as a place of prayer, and quiet reflection for everyone.
The mortuary chapel of rest/viewing room is separate from the main chapel and multi-faith room and is located on the ground floor adjacent to the mortuary off Red Street.
In most wards copies of the New Testament & Psalms are provided by the Gideons International and may be available in your bedside locker. Please let the staff or a chaplain know if you would like a copy.
Sunday services
Holy communion/prayer services are held at 9am each Sunday in the chapel. Services are usually conducted by a chaplain. They are quite informal and last no more than 20 minutes. People wanting ministry from within their own denomination or tradition can make contact with the appropriate chaplain or the chaplaincy team who will liaise on their behalf.
On Sunday mornings we visit the wards and offer each patient the opportunity for personal prayer and Holy Communion.
Multi-faith room
The multi-faith room is accessible from the chapel vestibule off Yellow Street. It is open 24 hours a day and provides a quiet space for prayer or somewhere just to sit quietly. Copies of sacred books for some major faiths are available. There are individual prayer mats and a carpet is kept rolled up for Muslims who wish to pray. A folder is provided for anyone to record their comments on the use of the room or to record their prayers.
