Warwick Hospital Catholic Chaplaincy

Fr David Hartley has been appointed as the Catholic Chaplain for the hospital. Local priests provide support and emergency cover. If you are in hospital and wish to see a Catholic priest, please ask as patient confidentiality rules mean that priests will not be automatically told about you.

Going into Hospital

If you or a relative are going into hospital, please be sure to tell the ward staff you are a Catholic and would like to see the Catholic Chaplain. It’s also helpful to notify the Parish Clergy, so a visit, either by them or the Chaplain can be arranged.  For information on Warwick Hospital please visit https://www.swft.nhs.uk/our-hospitals/warwick-hospital/chaplains-spiritual-and-religious-support. The Catholic Chaplain  can be contacted via chaplaincy@swft.nhs.uk
