The Faith in Health conference in July brought together healthcare professionals from across the country to further the current debate about vocation and professionalism within the NHS and provided a space for healthcare professionals to reflect on the spiritual basis of their vocation to work in healthcare.

Key speakers included: Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, Baroness Julia Cumberlege, Sir Cyril Chantler and Dr James Hanvey SJ.

The conference was awarded 12 CPD credits (non-clinical) by the Royal College of Physicians and was open to all who work in healthcare.
