Spiritual Care Week runs 25 October through 30 October 2021. The theme is ‘Advancing Spiritual Care Through Research’. Spiritual Care Australia – Tasmania Branch – will host a presentation with Prof Megan Best speaking on research in spiritual care at the Keith Milingen Lecture theatre, Royal Hobart Hospital on 25 October 2021 commencing 2:00pm.
The week of October 24-30, 2021 represents 36 years of celebrating Spiritual Care Week. Spiritual care has a wonderful history of cultures and religions which engage with a continuum of healthcare providers in supporting patients and families. This year’s theme emphasizes collaboration with a focus on chaplains providing spiritual care in ways that affirm and value their contribution as well as foster an appreciation for what is considered important for holistic care.
