# Jummah Salah in Muslim Prayer Room
The Spiritual, Pastoral and Religious Care (SPaRC) team at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust provides comprehensive spiritual support to patients, their families and staff across all beliefs and worldviews. Located within the Horton Wing, the Muslim Prayer Room hosts Jummah Salah services alongside broader multi-faith pastoral care.
SPaRC distinguishes itself through its genuinely inclusive model, rejecting the traditional "Chaplaincy" label that many found exclusionary. The team comprises representatives of diverse faiths and secular perspectives, committed to responding to individual needs without judgment. Rather than imposing support, practitioners allow patients' own agendas to guide conversations, offering calm and strength through active listening.
The service extends beyond bedside visits through an innovative mobile web app, developed with patient and staff input and funded by Bradford Hospitals Charity. This digital platform provides multilingual access to comfort resources including mindfulness recordings, religious prayers, holy texts and cultural guidance. Staff and patients can request specific religious support, holy books, prayer mats and beads tailored to their traditions.
What truly sets SPaRC apart is their integration of face-to-face pastoral care with cutting-edge digital accessibility. Their 2021 Bradford Model established ambitious service standards for fully integrated, inclusive spiritual wellbeing across the Trust. Available every day of the week, the team walks wards proactively whilst remaining responsive to requests, ensuring no patient—regardless of their faith tradition or lack thereof—feels unsupported during vulnerable healthcare moments.
