A day in the life of a hospital chaplain (audio slideshow)

7 May 2009

What happens in the daily life of a hospital chaplain? After the National Secular Society called for an end to NHS funding for hospital chaplains, arguing the £40m annual cost could be better spent, reporter Angus Stickler visits Homerton Hosptial in east London to find out.

BBC radio 4 spent a day with hospital chaplain Phaedra Pamphilon-Green talking to patients, grieving relatives and hospital staff (including other chaplains on site) about the value of the chaplaincy.

The four minute slot appeared on the prestigious Today programme.
