        Select:ID
        Who are you?

        It is a fundamental question to answer as you start your journey as a health professional. The world has a lot of answers, you are your job, your sexuality, your gender, or your racial and national identity. But the gospel of Jesus tells us that we are forgiven, we are chosen, we are beloved, we are made holy, and we are God’s own treasured possession. How do we live out that truth in our everyday life, our studies, and our careers?

        Join us at CMF’s Student Conference – from 30 January to 1 February 2026 (Yarnfield, Staffordshire)

        Bookings have now closed.

        We still have places available on the coach from London to Yarnfield so please email events@cmf.org.uk

        Thanks to generous donations, extra subsidies may be available to help students attend the Student Conference. If any bursary is available, we’ll be in touch — any support will be arranged as a refund after the event.

        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.

a ministry for senior doctors & retirees

Doctors are leaders in their workplaces, their local communities and often in their churches. If you’re a Christian and a doctor, you will know the great responsibility, challenge and opportunity you have. Even into retirement, you will often take on responsibilities and continue to lead in other contexts. CMF’s networks around the UK allow you to connect with others, support juniors, and find peers who can support and encourage you, whatever your career stage. Become part of our Christian Doctors ministry and together we can live and speak for Jesus.

Contact the Pastoral Care Team

Pastoral Care is a member benefit for those who join CMF. If you want to access this support, contact us using the form below and we will arrange a telephone call. We aim to get back to you as soon as possible, but we are not a crisis service, and there may, therefore, be a short delay in our response.

Please note, sadly we do not have the capacity to offer this service to non-members.
