James Ward

Nurse & Hospital Chaplain

James brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and compassionate care to the Dr Doolittle Ltd. team. With a professional background as a nurse specialising in orthopaedics, he spent many years as a charge nurse, supporting patients through complex recoveries and leading ward teams with dedication and skill.

His journey then took a more pastoral turn when he became a hospital chaplain – a role in which he continues to serve, offering emotional and spiritual support to patients, families, and healthcare staff alike.

James’s combined experience in healthcare and chaplaincy gives him a deep understanding of both the physical and emotional aspects of wellbeing – making him a valued companion on our journeys. Whether helping to ensure medical needs are well managed or simply offering a listening ear, James adds both depth and humanity to the Dr Doolittle experience.
