        Event Details

        Every Christian health professional has a unique opportunity to improve their patients’ physical and spiritual health, but many feel frustrated by the challenge of integrating faith and practice within time constraints and legal obligations.

        However, the medical literature increasingly recognises the important link between spirituality and health and GMC guidelines approve discussion of faith issues with patients provided that it is done appropriately and sensitively.

        Christians are called to be ‘the salt of the earth’. Saline Solution is a course designed to help Christian healthcare professionals bring Christ and his good news into their work. It has helped hundreds become more comfortable and adept at practising medicine that addresses the needs of the whole person.

        Dressed in Christ, ready for work

        Thursday 7 – Friday 8 May 2026,

        Yarnfield Park Training & Conference Centre, Staffordshire, ST15 0NL

        It’s seven o’clock, so it’s time to get changed. He pulls his lanyard over his head, unpins his name badge and stuffs them both in his rucksack as he heads home. She ties up the drawstrings of her scrub trousers and slips on her Crocs before heading onto the ward for handover. These are their end and beginning rituals, of putting off and putting on.

        The apostle Paul encouraged Christians in the early church to change their attire, too. He instructed them to doff their old self, and their former way of life, and to don their ‘…new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness’. (Ephesians 4 :24b)

        What impact would it have if we stepped into Christ’s changing room and took off old garments that weigh heavily and hinder us? Could we see a shift change in toxic workplace cultures, too, as we clothe ourselves distinctly in his love? As we gather together at NAMfest, we’ll be asking God for changeover. May he renew our minds and break through in our workplaces.

        Cost:

        £95 for full NAMfest (£75 for students)

        £45 for a Friday day ticket only; includes lunch

        Event Details

        Join CMF’s 18‑month Global Track, running from September 2026 to March 2028!

        The track is designed for medics, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals who are exploring or preparing for work in global health and mission.

        We especially welcome students in the final three years of their course, as well as graduates in the early stages of their careers, as the programme is structured to fit comfortably alongside ongoing studies, placements or work commitments.

        This will be our sixth cohort, building on years of experience delivering the programme.

        What’s Included
        • Residential & In‑Person Training: An introductory weekend residential with teaching, five Saturday training days at CMF HQ led by global health mission speakers, and a cross‑cultural training day in the UK.
        • Online Learning: Four two‑hour Wednesday evening webinars, and two assignments to help you reflect and apply your learning.
        • CMF Global Summer Mission Conference: Your place includes conference access with lectures, practical skills sessions, and workshops on healthcare in resource‑poor settings.
        • Mentoring: You’ll be paired with a mentor experienced in overseas missions for personalised support throughout the programme.
        • Vision Trip: Join one of three short‑term mission vision trips. If you can’t make these dates, we can consider your elective or another short-term mission trip instead.
        Course Fee

        £500

        Please note that this fee doesn’t include your travel, accommodation or extra days at the Global Summer Mission Conference, or the costs connected with your vision trip.
        We can provide a support letter if you’d like to invite prayer or financial support from your church, family, or friends.

        How to Apply
        Applications for the Global Track are now open, and close on Monday 30 March at 5:00 PM BST.

        To apply, email globaltrack@cmf.org.uk to request the application form.
