The Council members are:
Tim James - ChairTim's involvement with CNM began about 11 years ago when he was a student studying in Bristol. Since then, he has remained actively involved within CNM and by serving on the Council for many years. He has been a qualified nurse for 10 years working within Paediatric Intensive Care. He and his wife (Rachael, also a nurse) live in Surrey with their baby daughter.
Tim says
There are many challenges that nursing in Great Britain is facing at the moment. Christian nurses share in these challenges, whilst some are also experiencing persecution of faith in Jesus. But despite this, I believe the challenges point to the need for Christian nurses to demonstrate and speak of the love of Jesus with our patients, families, colleagues and managers. CNM is here to help Christian nurses with these challenges, by encouraging us through God’s word, the bible, and through the deepening of our relationship with Jesus. So please continue to support CNM by perhaps getting involved and telling your nursing friends/colleagues about us. As Chairman, I am always pleased to hear from members with any suggestions or concerns you have. I can be contacted through our website or through the CNM secretary, Steven Fouch at CMF offices. God Bless. Tim.

Sioned Jeffs
Sioned is from North Wales (in case her name didn't give that away!) but London is currently her home. She did her nurse training in Manchester and qualified as an adult nurse nine years ago. She has worked in MAU and A&E and is currently working in Intensive Care.
She finds nursing hugely rewarding. As Christian nurses, we get paid to do what Jesus asks his followers to do: to love, to serve & to care for the sick and the vulnerable in our society. As we learn to lean on Him, Christ equips us for our work and in His strength we can be His witnesses, even in the midst of the chaos, the politics (and the paperwork!).

Sioned says
The last nine years have been quite a journey, I have learnt some valuable lessons, and I’m still learning. I enjoy working out what it means to live for Christ in my day to day work.
I am excited about the work CNM are doing, and I am keen to see it grow. My hope is that through it, Christian Nurses and Midwives will be encouraged & equipped to be a Christian voice in the workplace and I am keen to support to that work.
