Have you accessed healthcare chaplaincy services?

If you, or someone close to you has accessed healthcare chaplaincy services in Northern Ireland, you are invited to take part in a survey being conducted on behalf of The Northern Ireland Healthcare Chaplains’ Association (NIHCA).

NIHCA is the professional body for healthcare chaplains in Northern Ireland and aims to support and equip them for their work.

The NIHCA has commissioned Queen’s University Belfast to undertake a study regarding experiences of people who have used healthcare chaplaincy services in Northern Ireland.

The research team is keen to hear from people of different faiths and beliefs who have accessed the healthcare chaplaincy service – this includes patients, family members or someone close to a patient, or an employee of the healthcare setting.

This is a welcomed opportunity to share your views and experiences anonymously.

Please use THIS LINK or the QR code displayed above to discover more about the brief survey and to take part.

Anyone with queries can contact Dr Patricia Carlisle (Lead Researcher, Queen’s University Belfast) at p.carlisle@qub.ac.uk or call (028) 9097 1379
