        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.

Our workforce is on its knees: it’s time for us to be as well

October 6, 2022/in Blog, Nursing Bex Lawton

A response to the RCN and RCM strike ballots Propping the staff room door open with her foot, Maria leans out into the corridor and shouts, ‘Bex! You coming for lunch soon?’. When I finally pull myself away it’s gone 4 pm. ‘I did make you a cup of tea’ Maria gestures to the cup […]

Praying for patients – punishable or permitted?

October 3, 2022/in Blog, Christianity, Medical Practice, NHS Mark Pickering

A Christian doctor who offered to pray for patients has agreed to attend a course on ‘boundaries’ after settling his case with the NHS. The Christian Legal Centre said Dr Richard Scott has been ‘vindicated‘ as NHS England lawyers agreed that the doctor is free to pray with patients if he does so within General […]

CMF wishes to extend our sympathies to the Royal Family and share in the nation’s mourning. In a reign spanning seven decades that saw massive social, political and cultural […]

Brain death, resurrection, and Archie Battersbee

September 9, 2022/in Blog, Christianity, End of Life, Society Trevor Stammers

Since June, when I last wrote about the deeply distressing case of Archie Battersbee, his ventilator was eventually switched off on 4 August. Soon after, he was declared dead when his heart subsequently stopped beating. In the evidence they gave at the court hearing on 6-8 June, the healthcare professionals caring for Archie all agreed […]

Unethical and outlawed are not the same

July 22, 2022/in Blog, Society, Start of Life Mark Pickering

An article in the New Statesman this week implied that Conservative Party leadership contender Penny Mordaunt MP, had been involved with an organisation that ‘wants to outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape’. This might have been an interesting story if she had indeed had any relevant links to such an organisation; even more when […]

Roe v Wade

July 1, 2022/in Blog, Start of Life Jennie Pollock

Last week we witnessed an event that I never thought I would see in my lifetime: the overturning of Roe v Wade. This 1973 Supreme Court decision held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, the right to privacy, protects a woman’s freedom to terminate a pregnancy. Half a […]

Wisdom of God or medical wisdom?

June 27, 2022/in Blog, Christianity, Medical Practice, Start of Life Guest

I have been working as a midwife for a few years now. As a believer, I am constantly fascinated by God’s design and wisdom and have been from day one of my training. Sometimes it appears to me as a midwife that in the last few decades, science has been catching up with what was […]

The tragedy of Archie Battersbee

June 24, 2022/in Blog, End of Life, Medical Practice Guest

Mrs Justice Arbuthnot’s judgement earlier this month on the tragic case of Archie Battersbee is sobering reading. Her ruling came across to me as kind and thoughtful, and the fact that she took time to visit Archie in hospital for herself speaks highly of her commitment to do the right thing for this twelve-year-old boy […]

Whole Genome Sequencing: challenges and opportunities

June 22, 2022/in Blog, New Technologies Guest

You may have requested whole-genome sequencing (WGS). You may be wondering what the words mean. Is it an exciting new way to improve health and wellbeing, or is it a modern tower of Babel (Genesis 11)? This article aims to help us understand WGS to better think about what it means for us as Christian […]

Conscientious objection ‘may become indefensible’ according to new WHO guidance

June 10, 2022/in Blog, Global Health and Mission, Medical Practice, Start of Life Guest

The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its Abortion Care Guidance recently, ostensibly ‘in a bid to protect the health of women and girls and help prevent over 25 million unsafe abortions that currently occur each year’. The implication throughout the guidance is that unsafe abortions are universally illegal ones, whilst legal abortions are universally […]
