Membership & Our Governors | The Christie NHS Foundation Trust

Strike action between Monday 2 October to Thursday 5 October 2023

Consultants and junior doctors at The Christie will both strike between 7am on Monday 2 October to 7am on Thursday 5 October 2023. Both consultants and junior doctors will still provide emergency care during their strikes.

We are proactively contacting patients with appointments that may be affected by this strike. If you have an appointment at the Trust on any of these dates, please continue to come to The Christie and our other centres as planned unless we contact you to tell you otherwise. There may be longer waits than usual in clinics during this time.

Please do not call to check if your appointment is still going ahead.

Our membership of around 10,500 public members is split into 13 constituencies:

Bolton
Bury
Manchester
Oldham
Rochdale
Salford
Stockport
Tameside and Glossop
Trafford
Wigan
Cheshire
North West
Rest of England and Wales

The members in each area vote for a governor who represents their views and opinions on our council of governors. Partner organisations are also represented on this council and this is how members of the public have a voice at board level.

We also have governors that represent each of the following staff groups:

Registered medical staff
Registered nurses
Other clinical professional staff
Non-clinical staff

For more information on our Governors or to find out who your governor is, please see our council of governors page.
