East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust's Chaplaincy Department provides comprehensive spiritual and pastoral care to patients, relatives, carers and staff across Blackburn and Burnley hospitals. Operating 24/7, the department recognises that hospitalisation can be deeply unsettling, and spiritual wellbeing significantly contributes to recovery and healing.
The service is distinctly inclusive, catering to people of all faiths and none. Whilst Christian chaplains (Church of England, Free Church and Roman Catholic) form the core team, dedicated Muslim chaplains ensure faith-specific support is available. Representatives of other religions can be arranged as needed, supported by trained volunteers from diverse faith backgrounds.
What sets this chaplaincy apart is its holistic, non-judgemental approach. Chaplains don't simply provide religious services—they listen, support and advocate for patients navigating loss, isolation and uncertainty. They specialise in sensitive circumstances including bereavement, baby loss and end-of-life care, offering both sacramental and emotional support.
The department provides practical spaces too: dedicated prayer rooms, including a 24/7 Muslim prayer room at Blackburn, plus quiet reflection spaces. Regular chapel services, Holy Communion, anointing and specialised prayers for healing are available, alongside staff training on religious and cultural care.
By integrating spiritual assessment into hospital care, the chaplaincy acknowledges that emotional, psychological and spiritual needs are integral to recovery and dignity—making it an essential, distinctive resource within the NHS trust.
