IT incident update – 28 March 2024

Following the IT outage we suffered yesterday (Wednesday 27 March), the majority of our systems have now been restored overnight.

The Christie Hotline (0161 446 3658) and switchboard (0161 446 3000) are working so patients can contact us as normal in this way.

We will continue to post information on the Trust website and social media channels with any further updates as necessary.

If you are attending for an appointment today, please bring with you information about your treatment, past medical history and medications which will help our staff should any systems still be slow. We apologise for any delays that this incident may cause to your care and treatment.
