The Christie Commitment pledges describe what our patients and their families or carers can expect from us, as well as what staff can expect from each other.
The Christie Commitment helps everyone know how much of a difference they make to patients and gives us the confidence to meet future challenges together.
The Christie Commitment Champions
Across the Trust, we have a team of champions dedicated to raising the awareness of the staff engagement agenda. This ranges from promoting the importance of health and wellbeing to helping others to access learning development opportunities.

- Achievement and recognition
