This guide provides a self-induction programme for part-time and whole-time chaplains at the start of a new appointment. The programme can be adapted to suit your own circumstances and is intended to help you make contacts and introduce yourself in an environment which may, at first, feel strange and unfamiliar. The third edition of this guide reflects changes within the National Health Service. It is a tool that should help you find your way around the complex world of a modern hospital as you begin your work within it.
