Are you working in global health and mission, or considering doing so?

CMF Global is hosting a series of eight interactive online training modules for rural healthcare workers and those considering serving in a rural, limited-resource setting. The training modules are led by General Practitioners and specialists with experience working in resource-limited rural contexts.

Sessions take place monthly (excluding December and April), and last for 90-minutes. Teaching is delivered in sections to allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. Participants are also welcome to stay online at the end of each session to chat and pray.

The modules run from 12:00 to 13:30 UK time to allow participants in Europe, Africa, and most of Asia to link in at a reasonable time. They are recorded, so those who have signed up but cannot make it on the day can watch afterwards.

See the session details below:

• 8 Sept 2026 – Session 1: Obstetric emergencies – common problems to look out for in clinic, through to treatment in a hospital setting.
• 20 Oct 2026 – Session 2: Common orthopaedic presentations: back, shoulder, hip and knee pain

Do you have questions about faith at work?

• Is talking about faith legitimate?
• Is it good medicine?
• Is it practical?
• Would I have time?
• How can I learn more?

The medical literature increasingly recognises the important link between spirituality and health. Yet many Christian health professionals feel frustrated by the challenge of integrating faith and practice within the time constraints and legal obligations of the workplace. GMC guidelines approve discussions of faith issues with patients provided it is done appropriately and sensitively.

Christians are called to be ‘the salt of the earth’ flavouring life with grace and truth. Saline Process is a one-day course designed to help Christian healthcare professionals become more comfortable addressing a person’s spiritual needs in a clinical context. There is a mixture of teaching and small group discussion.

The course will take place from 9:3am -5pm on Saturday, 21 November 2026. Refreshements will be served from 9:15am, with a prompt 09:30am start – refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.

How find to the Church

10am to 2.45pm, Sat 21 November 2026, St Francis Mackworth Church, Prince Charles Ave, Mackworth, Derby DE22 4FN

Tired. Worn out. Burnt out.

Following Jesus can sometimes feel like an uphill struggle. As healthcare professionals, we see daily the brokenness, frailty, and suffering of our world. Yet Jesus came to bring abundant life. How do we hold these realities together with hope?

Join us on Saturday 21 November 2026 at St Francis Mackworth Church in Mackworth, Derby, for a day of encouragement, worship, and practical insight into life as a faithful Christian under the pressure of being in healthcare today.

In 2 Corinthians 3 and 4, Paul reminds us of the good news: as Spirit-filled believers, we are being transformed with ever-increasing glory. Through this lens, we recognise the treasure we carry in jars of clay, confident that God’s power is at work within us: “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart” (2 Corinthians 4:1).

May we be encouraged and renewed as we reflect on our transformation and treasure.
