Chaplains of many faiths are available to speak to all patients, relatives and carers. The chaplaincy team welcomes everyone, whatever your faith or beliefs and whether or not you follow a religion. Information about your religious affiliation will be passed to the chaplaincy. If you do not wish this to happen, please inform a member of staff.

If you would like to speak to a chaplain, you can contact them on tel 020 359 42070 (for The Royal London Hospital, London Chest and Mile End) or 020 346 55682 / 57220 (Barts) ask a member of staff to phone them on your behalf. If we aren't available, please leave a message or email: chaplains@bartsandthelondon.nhs.uk.

In an emergency - please ask the ward staff to contact us. We provide a 24-hour service and the appropriate on-call chaplain can be contacted via the main switchboard.

The chaplains have links with many faith communities and will always try to get an appropriate representative when asked to do so. The service is confidential and respectful.
