One of the stars of the new Geordie Hospital Channel 4 show is four-legged Poppy Jingles - and her boss head chaplain Katie Watson is not far behind.
Along with a diverse team of chaplains from all faiths and none, Katie is on hand at the RVI and the Freeman hospitals to help the staff and patients there cope with whatever a day on the wards can throw at them.
Ahead of the new TV show, she told ChronicleLive how she wanted to demystify what chaplains do - and highlight that "it's not all about religion".
