What does spiritual care mean, and how can we integrate it into our practice?

As health and social care professionals, we are expected to care for people in an holistic manner, addressing their physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs.

But what does spiritual care truly mean? Does the term worry you? Intrigue you? Prompt you to reflect on what it means to truly care for someone? Could you confidently explain spiritual care to a patient?

Join us for our half-day introduction, where we explore what spiritual care means  both professionally and personally. We will examine a practical working definition and introduce techniques for integrating spiritual care into your everyday practice. The session will be thought-provoking, interactive, and a safe space to ask questions and share your thoughts.

Whatever your role you are welcome to join us!

Taking place on the 3rd of April 2025, 09.30-12.45.
