Rachel is an Associate Staff Worker on the Nurses and Midwives team at CMF and also a Saline Solution trainer.
“Every Christian health professional has a unique opportunity to improve their patients’ physical and spiritual health, but many feel frustrated by the challenge of integrating faith and practice within time constraints and legal obligations. However, the medical literature increasingly recognises the important link between spirituality and health and professional guidelines approve discussion 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 designed to help Christian health professionals become more comfortable practicing healthcare that addresses the needs of the whole person. There is a mixture of teaching and small group discussion.”
She is married with 5 children and works two days a week as a nurse at the Luton and Dunstable hospital.
