The Spiritual Care Department in NHS Fife embraces a broad understanding of spiritual and religious care for patients, visitors, staff and volunteers, regardless of belief or life stance. It forms an integral part of the delivery of safe, effective and person‑centred care, supporting those that work within and those who access our services, their families and carers.

The department delivers the following services in Fife: healthcare chaplaincy, bereavement support, staff support and community listening.
