        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.

        Booking for this have closed. If you would like to find out more about Saline, please email events@cmf.org.uk

        The health service day to day feels chaotic; too much demand, not enough resource, changing priorities and pressure, pressure, pressure……

        How do we respond as Christians?

        All our speakers have experience at the sharp end of the complexities and challenges of modern healthcare, but have also thought deeply about their faith and how to apply it when ‘the rubber hits the road’ on Monday morning.

        8.00     Introduction                                                                    Chris Holcombe

        Speakers

        Chris Holcombe
        Chris is a consultant breast surgeon and clinical lead for breast services in Swansea, and has held multiple leadership roles in the NHS locally, regionally and nationally.

        Out of work he enjoys time with grandchildren, in the mountains or on the coast in West Wales and is involved in his local church and leads CHLN on behalf of the Christian Medical Fellowship.

        Catriona Waitt

        Is Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Global Health with a particular interest in medication use among pregnant and breastfeeding women. Cat runs a research group in Uganda with collaborations around the world; and is a mother of five. 

        Perhaps when you were younger it felt extremely exciting to ‘live on the edge’, and take bold steps to live by faith in a world which seems increasingly disinterested in spiritual things. But now you face increasing leadership responsibilities at work, in church and in the community, and are navigating the joys of raising adolescents whilst aware of your declining physical strength – you can feel hard pressed on all sides! If so, this short talk aims to give a fresh perspective on how to keep serving God as you lead ‘through the chaos’.

        Oge Chesa

        Oge is the convenor of the quarterly NHS Strategic Prayer Summits and weekly NHS Strategic Prayer Storms that have been praying around NHS matters since 2015. The vision, which is based on Hebrews 8:4-5, brings together those with a heart for the NHS to ‘stand in the gap’ to see that the NHS in every facet is aligned to the agenda of Heaven. 

        Oge will look at what Jesus would do if he was in the NHS today.

        Mark White

        Mark is Chief Technology Officer at a large NHS Trust in London. He is a clinical scientist by background, mainly working in imaging and surgical navigation, then moved into digital leadership nearly ten years ago, joining his Trust’s senior directors’ team during the Covid pandemic. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters. 

        Mark will be helping us think about what the Bible has to say about healthiness and longevity, and whether that perspective can help us understand our ever-increasing expectations of the National Health Service.

a ministry for resident doctors

The training years are a decisive time for you. Transitioning from a study to work, moving town or region, taking on clinical responsibilities, and choosing and training in a speciality can all be stressful, especially when this is often without the familiar support networks of friends, CU, or church. CMF helps you share the journey with others facing the same challenges and those who’ve been there and know what you’re going through.

Become part of our Christian Doctors ministry and together we can live and speak for Jesus

I love to connect faith and Christianity with healthcare and learning to treat people as a whole. CMF does lots to train and equip me to do this.

      welcome scheme

      Being a junior doctor can be lonely. Having to move with placements or a new job, presents multiple challenges, from finding a new home, to settling into a new workplace, getting to know new colleagues and new ‘local procedures’, to finding a welcoming church.

      The CMF Welcome Scheme will put you in touch with a local Christian doctor to support you and help you settle in to your new area.
