Abstract

‘Spiritual Care in NHSScotland’ carries forward key emphases of earlier policy documents, regarding patient centred services, patient involvement, and culturally appropriate services. It reflects the values of openness, respect, accountability and inclusion. The challenge is to reflect upon the values which underpin change, and to apply them to create a positive spiritual environment within healthcare. The guidelines are welcomed as moving in the direction of a truly person centred NHS.
