# Jummah Salah in Muslim Prayer Room or Chapel
The Chaplaincy at Rotherham Hospital provides comprehensive spiritual and religious support to patients, visitors, and staff, irrespective of faith or belief. Located on C Level, this multi-faith service recognises that emotional and spiritual wellbeing forms a crucial part of healthcare.
The department operates 24/7, with dedicated on-call chaplains available during extended hours. Its team includes Muslim, Christian, and Catholic chaplains, all trained in pastoral care and knowledgeable across diverse faith traditions and spiritual practices.
The Muslim prayer room stands out as a dedicated space for Islamic worship, complete with separate facilities for ablution (wudhu) and gender-separated prayer areas. Notably, Jummah (Friday congregational prayers) are held in the chapel itself due to capacity requirements, making this a distinctive provision within an NHS hospital setting.
Beyond prayer spaces, the chaplaincy offers practical support at critical life moments: end-of-life care including prayers and anointing, infant naming ceremonies, emergency baptisms and weddings, and bereavement support for families. They provide comfort items such as Qur'an Cubes and religious tokens tailored to individual beliefs.
The multi-faith room and general chapel cater to all denominations, whilst regular Catholic Mass (Thursdays) and ecumenical Christian services (Sundays) reflect the hospital's inclusive approach. Chaplains visit wards to provide listening support, prayer, and Holy Communion as requested. Staff wellbeing is equally prioritised through dedicated support services.
This holistic spiritual care model ensures patients and families receive culturally sensitive, faith-appropriate support during vulnerable healthcare experiences.
