The College of Health Care Chaplains is one of the three UK national professional associations for chaplains working in health care, including the NHS. The college was formed in 1992 by the fusion of the Hospital Chaplains' Fellowship and the National Association of Whole Time Hospital Chaplains. It is formally linked to the trade union Amicus. Articles written by CHCC members are published in the Journal of Health Care Chaplains.
There is a separate association for chaplains specialising in hospice work and palliative care called the Association of Hospice and Palliative Care Chaplains.
