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 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, 1 March 2025 at St Andrew's Centre, Histon, Cambridge CB24 9EP. Please arrive by 9:15 for a prompt start - refreshments will be available. Lunch will not be provided but can be easily obtained from nearby shops.
