Our standards

The Christie is one of Europe's leading cancer centres and our five year strategy aims to enhance our world-leading status.

While we have ambitions to continually grow and improve, our aims will always remain the same - to deliver the highest quality care and treatment with real patient benefits.

Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The aim of the CQC is to ensure people experience services that meet fundamental standards of quality and safety, and respect their dignity and rights.

Infection control

We put patients at the heart of everything we do and keep you safe from infections. Find out more information about the various measures we put in place.

Patient surveys

We carry out regular surveys with our patients to find out what they think about their care at The Christie.

Patient safety

While you are at The Christie, keeping you safe and well is our priority. It's also important to keep yourself safe during your hospital stay, such as asking for help when needed, protecting yourself from slips and falls and helping to prevent blood clots.

Safeguarding at The Christie

Safeguarding is about ensuring a person’s health, wellbeing, and human rights are protected, empowering them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect.
