Virtual carol service from NHS Grampian

NHS Grampian Chaplaincy team have recorded a virtual carol service that will go live at 3pm on Sunday, December 20 and be available to watch and listen to online thereafter.

The service will feature Chaplains from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital, Royal Cornhill Hospital, Woodend Hospital, Dr Gray’s Hospital and Roxburghe House. It includes carols, readings, prayers, and a short reflection and lasts for around 30 minutes.

Lead chaplain and NHS Grampian Head of Spiritual Care Mark Rodgers said: “Even though the service was recorded in the Chapel in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, it is meant for all sites in NHS Grampian, in place of all the local in-person carol services or carol singing that would usually take place at this time of the year.

"It is meant for patients, relatives and staff; literally anyone who has a connection with NHS Grampian. We cannot mark Christmas in the way we usually would, but we hope this service will provide an alternative opportunity for celebration and reflection.”
