Training & Education
There is a wide range of training and education that is suitable for chaplains. The UKBHC has produced guidance about the core elements/syllabus that any introductory course for healthcare chaplains should contain. The recommendations can be downloaded here:Recommended syllabus for introductory courses.
Below are links to details of some of the course available at different higher education institutions.Other aspects of training and education are covered under the umbrella of CPD activities but tend to work on the premise of being at a postgraduate level since Agenda for Change has banded chaplains at band 5 and beyond.
These courses are specifically about healthcare chaplaincy and provided in the UK. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the information is current and accurate, details can change without notice. You are advised therefore to contact the relevant organisation for the latest details and advice. The inclusion or omission of any course is not intended to be an endorsement or otherwise of the course by UKBHC. (If you would like details of your course here please let us know details through the contact us link at the foot of tha page.)
