In this episode, we connect with Gudrun Ernstson (Sweeden) and Remy Jacobs (Netherlands) about their experiences with chaplaincy in their countries, and what they learned at the 2024 European Network of Healthcare Chaplaincy consultation. We discuss the impact of trauma on our work and the importance of self-care.

Gudrun Ernstson has been a healthcare chaplain for 24 years, serving at an emergency hospital and a children's hospital in Sweden. In her work, she cares for patients, relatives, and hospital staff.

Remy Jacobs served as a Catholic priest in the parish for 8 years before becoming a chaplain, caring for older adults. He lives in Rotterdam with his partner Richard.
