Even where it is on the patient record that does not provide consent unless (unlikely) the purpose was clearly specified.
GDPR doesn't really change things here.
All that is needed is for medical staff to engage with the patient (or in some cases relatives) in a common sense and polite way, and pass details to the chaplaincy with consent.
GDPR will not always even be relevant. e.g. someone brought in, unconscious, and in a critical condition, dressed as a priest no relatives available. Call the chaplain.
