DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH New arrangements for the appointment of health care chaplains will come into place from 3 January 2012. A panel of health care chaplaincy appointment advisers drawn from the different religions and faiths in England will be established from whom advisers can be recommended to trusts, who seek assistance in the complex process of appointing full time chaplains to acute and mental health hospitals. Chief executives will wish to consider these new arrangements, and the importance of providing access to faith communities to support the spiritual wellbeing of patients and staff, when commissioning services.
The Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury has issued new guidance notes which replace those previously circulated in 2007.
On

a revised Outline
Job Description was agreed. For further details see the Bishops'
Advisers on Hospital Chaplaincy page.
