چکیده
One of the few research projects to have focused on NHS hospital chaplains reports widely divergent views regarding its service. On the one hand, chaplaincy is described as being ‘utterly essential’, a view supported by comments reporting that it is a discipline surfing along ‘on the crest a wave’. On the other hand, it has also been described as being ‘benignly superfluous’ and as a profession that is ‘still wrestling with issues of nature and purpose’. The more positive perspective is backed by increased levels of NHS investment in chaplaincy. Consequent upon funding, which is heading towards £14 million, there has been a significant surge in numbers of appointed wholetime hospital chaplains. Despite such encouragement however, not only is there no mention of the spiritual and religious dimension to patient care in the NHS Handbook, but the chaplaincy service in general fails to get a mention. Perhaps this suggests that what appears to chaplaincy as a ‘wave’ in reality generates not even a ripple on the surface of the NHS organization as a whole. It is hardly surprising that chaplaincy for many in the NHS, not least psychiatrists, often figures little in their thinking. So then, how many chaplains are there? How are they organized? Where are they located? What do they do?
