- 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 Solution 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 09:30 (UK time) on Saturday, 19th October 2024 at Bearwood Chapel, 445 Bearwood Road, Smethwick, B66 4DH. (Opposite Bearwood Primary School, slightly set back from the main street).
A simple buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided but participants may bring their own packed lunch. There are shops nearby.
There is roadside parking nearby and limited parking at the church for anyone with a mobility issue.
Public transport: Bearwood Road is on bus routes 11, 48, 12, 13, 9.
