Event Type : Doctors

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.

Day of prayer for the health service

We invite Christians in healthcare and others to join us for a focused day of prayer for the health service on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. 

Whatever your experience or current challenges, let us bring our thanks, fears, hopes, and prayers to our heavenly Father. You may also wish to consider fasting in some way during the day. 

We have chosen Habakkuk 3:2 as our focus verses for the day. Let’s recall his fame and deeds as we cry out to God on behalf of the health service, our patients and colleagues. 

Pray with us
