Current developments and what's coming soon

Keep up-to-date with developments at The Christie and see if any of our works will affect your journey to us.

Works update: 20 February 2024

The work on site to convert former administration areas into a new 20-bed ward is progressing well – the construction of the steel frame and concrete staircases is complete. The concreting of the staircase landings will continue over the coming weeks.

Scaffolding has been put up to help us to install the new cladding to the outside of the building and the work to replace the cladding has commenced.

Inside, the building of the new internal walls is nearly complete with the installation of electrical, plumbing and ventilation equipment also taking place. The plastering and painting of the walls has commenced.

Last week, work was carried out on the cycle lane and pedestrian pathway on The Christie / Paterson side of Wilmslow Road. Thank you for your patience whilst this work was completed by Manchester City Council. 

Wilmslow Road redevelopment to form replacement advanced scanning and imaging facility 

Planning permission was granted by Manchester City Council in December 2023. We will update further regarding the timeline for this project in due course. 

Carbon and Energy Fund (CEF) Project

The Christie “CEF Project” is a refresh of the way in which the Trust produces enough power to run the site. The project will significantly reduce the Trust’s future energy costs and CO2 emissions and will act as the first stage of its journey to reduce the carbon footprint of The Christie in line with Manchester City Council’s commitment for Manchester to be carbon neutral by 2038.

The proposed works have been carefully developed to have a limited visual impact to the hospital site externally. The majority of the improvement works will be contained within the existing buildings and will have no visible impact to neighbouring properties.

The project will require a new chimney which will be 3 metres lower and significantly narrower than the existing brick chimney. The chimney would be the only visible change noticeable on the hospital site. The height and proximity of the existing hospital buildings and large tree cover in surrounding the site will limit any visual impact.

The Trust will be applying for Planning Permission from Manchester City Council for the works.

The CEF Energy Project will introduce a range of energy conservation measures (ECMs) which will be deployed across The Christie hospital site. These ECMs will reduce the thermal consumption of the hospital estate by 15% and the electrical consumption by 16% resulting in an initial reduction in carbon emissions of 1,356 tonnes per annum.
