What is the DCHS Chaplaincy service?
Everything you need to meet the needs of your patients and service users in relation to their spiritual and wellbeing needs.
Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust and Chaplaincy Derbyshire are working together with your community.
Sometimes life can be challenging and bring up worries, anxieties and questions. We offer support, comfort and a confidential listening ear as part of our community healthcare team.
How we can support you
- End of life care
- Terminal illness
- New diagnoses
- Living with a long term condition
- Fears about forthcoming treatments
- A desire to connect with family
- Making difficult decisions
- Bereavement issues
We are a Christian pastoral service, but are here for people of all faiths and none.

- as a reminder that all staff, whatever their discipline, can and do provide spiritual care in the course of their normal duties
- to provide a clear place for all staff to document the assessment and care planning for spiritual needs, if they have not been noted elsewhere.
