St Thomas' Church Philadelphia, Sheffield
A day conference to inspire, uplift and resource Christians who work within the NHS
The NHS was founded in 1948, is the third largest employer in the world and also the world’s largest publicly funded health service. The pressure, choices and challenges that are faced by those who work at all levels within the NHS can be intense, as they seek to fulfil its compelling ethos "that good healthcare should be available to all, regardless of wealth".
Beth Hutton has developed 'God loves NHS' conferences, one day events to be held around the country. The first conference was held at New Life Church in Lincoln in November 2009 and was attended by approximately 100 people from all over the UK. The Keynote speaker was Professor Chris Summerton, a Consultant in Gastroenterology and General Medicine at Trafford General Hospital, Manchester, who will be giving a seminar at this year's conference in Sheffield. In addition, Paul Blundell spoke on overcoming challenges within mental health, Pastor David Carr from Renewal Christian Centre in Solihull on how the church can work alongside and with the NHS and also Pastor Stuart Bell from New Life spoke on ‘Healthwise’ – health from a biblical perspective. Worship was led by Geraldine Latty and the New Life worship team. In addition, the following organisations supported and were part of the event; Transform Work UK, Christian Medical Fellowship, Parish Nursing and Theos, a public theology think tank.
Chris and Helen Cotton, Chris Atkins and Jude Stone from St Thomas' Church, Philadelphia attended the event in Lincoln. Testifying to the success of the Lincoln conference in validating and empowering those within the NHS, these four individuals returned from the event determined to bring the God loves NHS conference to Sheffield.
