Has a Christie member of staff made a difference to you or a family member who has been treated at The Christie? If so, we want to hear from you!
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust has launched its annual colleague awards for 2026 which looks to recognise our members of staff across the organisation who are an inspiration and embody the Trust’s Values and Behaviours.
Patients and their families and carers will be able to nominate a person or team in the ‘Act with Kindness’ award category. This award is where a team or individual has acted with exceptional kindness towards a patient/carer or family of patient. Nominations should detail the way(s) in which the team or individual has demonstrated exceptional kindness and explain the impact that this had.
Roger Spencer, Chief Executive at The Christie, said: “I know that many of our colleagues consistently go above and beyond in the care and treatment they give to our patients and this is your chance to highlight an individual or team who has acted with kindness and embodied our Trust Values and Behaviours during your journey with us. I am looking forward to being part of the Colleague Awards and hearing all about what our patients have to tell us about their experiences.”
How to nominate
You can submit as many nominations as you wish for the ‘Act with Kindness’ award but you must complete a separate form for each nomination you want to make.
You can also pick up a paper nomination form at the main hospital site in Withington and our Christie at sites in Oldham, Macclesfield and Salford and post completed nomination forms in the ballot boxes available at main reception areas.
You have until midnight on Sunday 2 August 2026 to submit your nominations for the ‘Act with Kindness’ award either on paper or electronically.
