Audrey Pegler
We said goodbye to Audrey Pegler at Christmas. Audrey has been the immensely faithful accountant of CMF since August 1975 (yes, 1975!). She has offered a caring, friendly ear to many overstressed CMF members who are hopelessly in arrears with their subscription, and are buried by their personal administration. She has managed the financial affairs of the Fellowship throughout all that period, and in the face of massive change, development, growth, and the everincreasing pressure of financial governance in the charitable world. Thank you Audrey for over 28 years of very faithful service, you are already very greatly missed!
Associate General Secretary
As CMF News went to press we were interviewing for the Associate General Secretary post. The new appointment, to be announced soon, will involve pastoral care of doctors, encouraging evangelism and mission, and developing the new Saline Solution course for integrating faith and practice. The appointee will work eight sessions a week and will be based half in the London Office and half in the field.
Could you be a CMF Staffworker?
There are current vacancies for student Staffworkers in North West England, East London/East Anglia, Ireland and the Midlands. Staffworker posts are normally 4-5 sessions per week for two years, but other models are not impossible and we try to fit posts around an applicant's location and stage. Staffworkers are usually 24-32 years of age and spend the other half of their time in part time SHO, SpR or GP trainee or retainer posts, or in doing Bible College study. Salary is based on graduate teacher scales. For more information contact Peter Saunders at the CMF office.
New CMF database Our new database went live on 11 December. Oracle is a 'state of the art' system already used by over 70% of businesses worldwide, and will allow us to streamline greatly our membership system, improve handling of electronic correspondence, answer complicated queries, allow a transition to direct debit and online conference bookings, enhance considerably our ability to contact and link people and help us create an effective Christian medical cyber-community.
