The Christie Charity
Each and every person who works at The Christie performs a valuable role which directly links to patient care. Whether it is a nurse delivering chemotherapy treatments, a member of the administration team sending out an appointment letter, a surgeon performing a robotic procedure, the domestic teams ensuring our wards are spotlessly clean, or an IT engineer keeping our computer systems running, there is a huge variety of roles that come together to make The Christie special.
All our staff go to tremendous lengths to help each and every one of our patients and together: We are The Christie.
Georgia Woodcock is one of our medical photographers. She uses specialist equipment to take photos that are used to help diagnose, treat, and monitor cancer.
“Photos can help the medical teams to do a number of things, including understanding whether a certain treatment is working and assessing side effects, so I feel that I’m making a difference every day,” she says.
Georgia, who has a degree in photography, gained clinical experience elsewhere in the NHS before starting at The Christie in 2023 and has since completed a master's in clinical photography.
“My job allows me to combine two of the things I love – photography and science. What I do is quite niche, so patients can be quite curious about it. Chatting about it can help put them at ease,” Georgia says.
