Every month we reward someone’s efforts with a You Made A Difference award. See the latest members of staff, teams or volunteers who we've recognised for going above and beyond in their work at The Christie.
You Made a Difference Award winners

Nicola Dunwoodie, apprentice therapeutic radiographer“Nicola is very deserving of this award as she works hard and is committed to her role. She balances her academic and clinical responsibilities and always strives to deliver the best service. She works well as part of the team and is not afraid to take on new challenges.”

Keerthi Kancharla, clinical trials coordinator“I think this award demonstrates Keerthi's kind, thoughtful and always willing to help nature. She always welcomes the opportunity to help where she can and does so with a smile and a genuine kindness that exudes from within.”

Roxana Boaler, staff nurse“On Roxie starting her shift she asked me what procedures I had booked. I told her two, she worked tirelessly throughout the day, coordinating everything to make sure I could be discharged.”

Sean McGagh, porter“Sean consistently upholds The Christie values, and I think some recognition of this would be lovely. Sean's unwavering dedication and kindness make him a true asset to our hospital and an invaluable member of staff.”

Aanu Majaro, receptionist“She greeted me by my first name – to me, that made a big difference. I was a person, not just a patient undergoing radiotherapy.”

Guy Macfarlane, anaesthetic and recovery theatre practitioner“[Guy] is an asset to The Christie and even if he does not win this award, he has made a lifelong impact to myself at the worst possible time in my life and I hope he knows this.”

Susan Corr, domestic assitant"Thank you for your professionalism, and the pride you take in your work. The NHS is stronger because of people like you."

Ivan Cobham, activity coordinator“Ivan is a kind, caring and compassionate individual, who consistently displays The Christie values. He has always had a keen interest in mental health, and support for those suffering from mental health conditions and dementia.”

Jaqueline Mellody, clinical research nurse“Her personality shines at every visit and she is amazing at sharing stories… I am sure we would have felt completely lost many times without Jacqui.”
