Every Christian nurse and midwife has a unique opportunity to improve both the physical and spiritual health of their patients, but many feel frustrated by the challenge of integrating their faith and practice within the time constraints of the daily schedule. And yet there is now a growing recognition in the nursing and midwifery literature of the important link between spirituality and health.
In our contact with patients we are called to be 'the salt of the earth' - flavouring life with grace rather than blasting people with the truth. The Saline Solution is a new course developed by the Christian Medical Fellowship aimed at helping Christian health professionals of all disciplines to bring Christ into their day-to-day contact with patients. So far it has helped hundreds to be more comfortable and adept at practising healthcare that addresses the needs of the whole person.
The course is aimed at helping us draw patients in a natural way one step closer to a relationship with God through recognising God-given opportunities to touch them with the love of God without being pushy, forced or offensive.
This autumn, there are a number of multidisciplinary Saline Solution courses running across the UK including:
Wed 2 Nov - Warwick
Tues 8 Nov - Inverness
Thurs 10 Nov - Leicester
Wed 7 Dec - York
Fri 9 Dec - Leeds
Other events are planned, and more details can be found here or by contacting CNM on saline@cnm.org,uk
