National Juniors' Conference - 30 August-1 September

Imitating Christ is the title of the 6th annual junior doctors' 'Beyond the Bleep' weekend conference to be held at The Hayes Confrence Centre, Swanwick, Derbyshire on the weekend of 30 August-1 September. Sheffield General Surgeon Bill Thomas is the main speaker and there will be a range of seminars on juniors' issues. The conference is targeted at those in the first four years' post graduation. Publicity has been mailed and 80-100 juniors are expected to attend. If you are a junior why not phone Medical Staffing in your next job now to ensure that you can get the weekend off?

Pastoral Care

Starting house-jobs brings with it many pressures to compromise faith, and our junior doctors need lots of support at this vulnerable stage of their careers. This August, over 200 PRHO and SHO members of CMF will be linked to other CMF graduates near their place of work for fellowship and support. If you are interested in learning more about the pastoral care scheme please contact Giles Rawlinson at the Office.

Junior Doctors' Away Day

About 20 juniors attended an away day in Leicestershire on 15 June to pray, brainstorm and plan for CMF's future ministry amongst juniors. Lots of great new ideas and several new members for the junior doctors committee have so far resulted. Watch this space!

Juniors' Open House

There are now eight regular 'open house' meetings for juniors in different parts of the country (see bak page). These are proving invaluable in providing fellowship, encouragement and support. If you would like to start one up in your area then contact us for an 'open house pack' with lots of ideas and we will put you in touch with others who have done it for advice about what works best.
