The UK Board of Healthcare Chaplaincy (UKBHC) holds a voluntary Register of healthcare chaplains in the UK and seeks to promote the confidence of the public and employers in healthcare chaplaincy and to develop professional standards of practice.
In September 2024, we reviewed the actions UKBHC had taken to meet the 12 Conditions we issued at its full renewal assessment in January 2024. You can read the full report of the Conditions Review.
Nine (9) of the 12 Conditions were met. Of the three that were not met, two were merged and re-issued as Condition One, while the other was re-issued as Condition Two. Both Conditions were re-issued with deadlines for implementation.
