        We are delighted to announce that bookings are open for the first CMF Day Conference in Dublin. On Saturday 11 April we will be gathering at Grosvenor Baptist Church for a day helping Christian healthcare professionals bring Christ and his good news into their work.

        We will be using the Saline course, which equips you to recognise opportunities to encourage colleagues and patients to take one step closer to God, sharing the gospel with sensitivity, respect, and genuine care.

        All healthcare professionals are welcome. There will also be plenty of time to connect with others who share your heart for Christ and healthcare in Ireland. We’d love to see you there!

        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.

        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 Friday 10 April, 5 PM BST.

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

        Event Details

        Come and join us for 4 nights in Criccieth, where the mountains meet the sea, to consider the needs in the world today, learn more about what the Bible teaches about mission and see what God is doing.

        We’ll think about what it means to make disciples and how to demonstrate God’s love in practical action. There will be the opportunity to work through practical questions, learn from each other and think through how we could be involved now and in the future. There will be time for Bible study, prayer, praise, learning in groups, wild swimming, walks and personal reflection.

        Who is it for?
        Christian students and health care professionals and their spouses/partners wanting to learn more about mission and considering how they may get involved in the future.

May 27, 2021/in Blog, End of Life, Society, Start of Life Jennie Pollock

The current series of Call the Midwife is set in 1966. We dispensed with World Cup fever in about half an episode and are now focussing on other things in the news that year. The most significant of these, from a midwifery perspective, was David Steel’s Abortion Reform Bill which was then going through Parliament. […]

May 18, 2021/in Blog, Global Health and Mission Guest

Can we vaccinate our way out of the pandemic?

May 13, 2021/in Blog, Global Health and Mission Steve Fouch

Here in the UK, we have been feeling pretty good about ourselves recently, with (at the time of writing) over 35 million adults having been partially vaccinated and more than 18 million fully vaccinated. In other words, more than two-thirds of the adult population has been at least partially vaccinated (nearly 55 million people), and […]

You may be aware of current controversies around the issue of so-called ‘conversion therapy’. But you may be wondering what it’s all about and whether we need to worry about it as Christians and/or medics.

DIY abortion: one year on

March 30, 2021/in Blog, Medical Practice, Start of Life Jennie Pollock

On this day last year, the UK Government, after a bizarre double-u-turn, made the home an approved ‘class of place’ for early medical abortion up to ten weeks. Women could now obtain both mifepristone and misoprostol after just a phone or video consultation with an abortion provider. The pills would be sent to the woman’s […]
