Presbyterian moderator the Rev Dr Sam Mawhinney’s visit to Ulster Hospital in East Belfast evokes memories
Before becoming a Presbyterian minister, Dr Mawhinney studied to be a GP, which included five years training in a number of Northern Ireland’s leading hospitals.
As part of his presbytery tour of East Belfast church congregations this week, Dr Mawhinney also visited the Ulster Hospital’s new acute services building, which includes its state-of-the-art Emergency Department (ED), opened last month.

The chaplaincy team includes Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Methodist and Roman Catholic clerics.
