Connecting members
In the next week you will receive a letter from Pablo Fernandez, CMF Head of Graduate Ministries, inviting you to serve as a CMF link in your workplace, locality, church, deanery or foundation school. We want to identify CMF members in each region who will serve the fellowship by connecting Christian doctors. Please pray and respond as you can.
Crucial GMC consultation – please respond
A consultation on the GMC guidance on Personal Beliefs and Medical Practice closes on 13 June. The draft guidance clamps down further on faith discussions in the consultation and imposes more restrictions on conscience issues. It is very important that Christian doctors have their say. Please read our analysis and advice, then respond.
