Not a cure for sick parishes!
Not a private care plan for elderly vicars!
Not a strategy for giving injections and treatments
Not even traditional nursing or health advice by 
people using church premises.

It is….. Churches of all denominations appointing registered nurses with community experience to promote whole person health care in their local communities, 
For people of all faiths and none,including an intentional focus on spiritual care.
