In 2008 we are appointing two more research fellows to investigate the area of meeting the spiritual needs of patients in the community, especially within General Practice and Primary Care settings
Dr Claire Pollin
Claire has just completed her registrar's training in General Practice and will be taking up a permanent post later in 2008. At present she has a research Fellowship which is allowing her to explore the use of chaplaincy to meet the spiritual needs of patients presenting within general practice.
She has been working with Dr Ross Bryson and lead chaplain Annie Hughes at the Karis Medical Centre in Birmingham. For more details on these activities you can go to the web site of the Whole Person Health Trust.
