What can we say as Christians about the Lord Darzi Rapid Review on the state of the English NHS?
Ara Darzi’s independent review into the performance of National Health Service (NHS) England, commissioned soon after the Labour election victory in July, was published on 12 September. The report has been well received as an honest appraisal of the current state of the NHS. The fact that the NHS is in serious trouble will come […]
Legalising assisted suicide: why now?
The papers are reporting that Sir Keir Starmer supports fast-tracking a bill to make a seismic change in British law. He reportedly wants to legalise assisting the suicide of terminally ill adults with a vote in parliament before Christmas. But why is this apparently among his top priorities? Whilst some high-profile supporters of assisted suicide […]
The NMC Code in the light of Jesus – ‘Preserve Safety’
(Read The Code online – The Nursing and Midwifery Council (nmc.org.uk) I have recently been prompted to re-engage with our Nursing and Midwifery Code of Professional Conduct, and in this blog, I consider this in light of the biblical principles by which I seek to live my life. Perhaps one of the things that prompted […]
Speak kindly – your comatose patient may be listening
At least ‘one quarter of people with brain injuries who seem unresponsive can hear things going on around them and might even be able to use brain-computer interfaces to communicate‘, according to a recent article in Nature. We have little idea of how many patients there are in the UK with Prolonged (more than six […]
A prayer for the new government
As a Christian nurse, I am intrigued to see how God might use the recently elected Government to help heal the UK’s National Health Services (NHS). As Christian healthcare professionals, we need to avoid getting sucked into negative talk in our places of work, such as, ‘Oh, just another load of false promises’! In contrast, […]
Assisted suicide: am I my neighbour’s keeper?
This week the Isle of Man’s lower house voted through the third reading of their Assisted Dying Bill. The bill, at its core, says that ‘a person who is terminally ill may request and lawfully be provided with assistance to end their own life.’ And this week, Lord Falconer is also introducing a similar bill into The House […]
Anticipating the Cass Review? A personal historical reflection
In light of the recently published Cass Review, guest blogger, Don Horrocks (Retired Head of Public Affairs at the Evangelical Alliance), offers us a personal, historical reflection on the last 26 years of involvement in the legal landscape surrounding transgenderism. It seems only yesterday, but in fact it was in 1998 26 years ago […]
Walk75 | Prayer Walk for Health
This year, we celebrate 75 years since the Christian Medical Fellowship came into being. Over that time, God has done some amazing things through Christian medics, nurses, midwives, and others coming together to pray, study God’s word, serve and encourage one another, and share the good news of Jesus. In the UK and worldwide, we […]
McArthur ‘Assisted Dying’ Bill announced
On 29 March 2024, Liam McArthur, MSP, announced his ‘Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill’ to the Scottish Parliament. This will now be debated and scrutinised by the Parliament. If passed, it would mean the legalisation of doctor-assisted suicide for those with an advanced illness who choose it, within the Scottish NHS. The […]
A confluence of evils
There are times when you see a confluence of evils merging from afar, but they merge so slowly that most people remain totally unaware of them, or if they are they just shrug their shoulders and move on. I first wrote about my concerns over organ donation from those requesting euthanasia (ODfE) in 2017 when Belgium […]
Midwifery in the headlines
Midwifery was in the news for all the wrong reasons at the end of last year. As a midwife of ten years, I was heartbroken to read headlines from The Times that said: ‘Midwives “toxic” working conditions putting babies’ lives at risk, report finds‘ and The Telegraph that said: “Russian roulette’ maternity units risk lives […]
Striking the right balance
how can Christian medics decide about industrial action? Until a decade ago, I was a medic struggling through the NHS quagmire. So, when I had the opportunity to join the CMF Junior Doctors Conference back in November 2023, I prepared myself to meet lots of doctors now near drowning in the thickening muck. In the […]
