Presenting the difficult situation @Sue_Ryder to NHS England today. So sad to have 5 Hospices without Spiritual Care specialists in place. Still not sure if @CareQualityComm will take seriously what they have done. I am presuming, sadly that @hospiceuk will also say nothing.







Received confirmation today that the post I job-share as Spiritual Care Coordinator (Chaplain) for Birmingham Hospice is being made redundant. This is in spite of many members of the community writing in to petition that this core service should be maintained. @MichelePaduano @HealthChaplains


CHCC (largest professional body in UK for spiritual care staff) we are deeply disappointed-@Sue_Ryder moving away from best practice #EOL care, ignoring NHS guidance and seemingly removing workforce (they recruited) because they are Christian.

feeling very much for the @Sue_Ryder spiritual care providers as they are made redundant. Seems like org has lost its soul. 112£ million income but not a penny on spiritual care direct to #EOL patients and families. not sure what else to say @BBCNews @hospiceuk















Is there a wave of this happening nationwide at the moment? Speaking as a hospice chaplain (spiritual care coordinator) who has been given notice that this role I share with a Muslim chaplain is potentially being made redundant. Decision due on 4 March. @HealthChaplains @WeChaplains @RoyLilley @MichelePaduano @hospiceuk
