# Chaplaincy Services at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care
The Chaplaincy Team at Tameside and Glossop NHS Trust provides comprehensive spiritual and pastoral care to patients, visitors, and staff across all faith backgrounds and those with no religious affiliation. Led by Mohamed Seedat, the multi-faith team recognises that spiritual wellbeing forms an essential component of holistic patient care, addressing social, emotional, and spiritual needs alongside physical health.
Based in the Ladysmith Building, the service operates 24/7 with chaplains available for urgent spiritual requirements at any time. The team includes dedicated chaplains for Christian denominations and Islam, supported by trained volunteers, ensuring culturally sensitive and faith-appropriate care.
What distinguishes this service is its genuinely inclusive approach. Two multi-faith prayer rooms remain open around the clock as quiet personal spaces, with faith-specific resources and artefacts stored accessibly in cupboards rather than displayed, allowing individuals to access what matters to their beliefs. The team actively facilitates regular religious services including Holy Communion (Tuesday and Sunday), Roman Catholic Mass (Wednesday), and Friday Jummah prayers with timings adjusted seasonally.
Beyond routine spiritual support, the chaplains specialise in end-of-life care, accompanying patients and families through bereavement with compassionate listening and practical support. They also facilitate significant life events, arranging weddings and memorial services. The service emphasises that spiritual care is for everyone—not exclusively for those identifying as religious—making it an inclusive resource supporting the complete wellbeing of the hospital community.
