On 19-21 November 2021, junior doctors from across the UK met at the first in-person CMF Junior Doctors' Conference since the pandemic. We were grateful to God that, despite lockdown uncertainties, over 150 juniors could gather for a weekend full of fun and fellowship.

David Randall gave three fantastic talks from the book of Isaiah. David was himself a junior doctor who has been working on the frontline throughout the pandemic. These talks were complemented by a superb set of seminars on various topics, including global health, whole-life discipleship, and relationships, to name but a few.

One of the highlights (and there were many) was the opportunity to enjoy in-person fellowship over food, games, and of course, a very lively ceilidh. This was incredibly refreshing after such a long period of isolation. Once again, we were reminded of the blessings of gathering together as believers.

Unfortunately, not all juniors were able to attend due to Covid restrictions. Even so, we are glad that our Scottish brothers and sisters could join in remotely. We were also blessed to receive video messages from previous SYD delegates. These were alumni of the CMF training programme for Students and Young Doctors from around the world.

Of course, this weekend would not have been possible without the support of the CMF staff team, pastoral care partners, and our excellent speakers and volunteers. Above all, we give all glory and honour to God (Jude 1:25).
