ACGP Team Leaders Network Meeting

We arrange quarterly networking events to bring together Primary Healthcare Chaplains who also juggle the responsibility of leading a team of Chaplains (whether this be one other Chaplain or many, paid workers or volunteers).

These events provide ample opportunity for sharing and networking with others in a similar position to yourself. There will be a time for reflection – allowing some input and ‘pause’. We aim to learn from one another, in addition to creating a supportive network for all Primary Healthcare Chaplaincy team leaders.

Next Upcoming Event

Next topic for discussion: Moving from theory to practice. How do we help teams to apply their learning in the chaplaincy room?
