Elizabeth Toon, retired Christie nurse"I can truthfully say my time here has been happy and extremely rewarding. Whilst much has changed, good communication, empathy, and compassion always underpin the care we deliver. I've worked with so many caring and dedicated staff, who all put excellent patient care at the heart of what we do."
Susy Pramod, tissue viability specialist nurse"My managers... have been supportive of me getting more involved in research. It also helps that the hospital has a long history of pioneering new and kinder treatments for cancer."
Amelia Cargo, communications officer"The Christie has several diversity networks... it’s really important for me to know that I’m working somewhere that is diverse and inclusive."
Elaine Blowers, former divisional lead research nurse"Seeing the difference a clinical trial drug can make to a patient reaffirmed the reason why I wanted to be a clinical research nurse."
Clare Barnes, trainee nursing associate"I have found through experience that the nursing team around us are our greatest teachers... every person across the team offers support and different perspectives."
Gillian Goodwin, quality improvement nurse"I have worked at The Christie as a nurse for more than 34 years... patients really have been at the centre of everything we've ever done."
Fiona Jenkinson, nurse and chaplain"Everyone has the right to bring their whole self to work and every patient has the right to be treated as a unique individual. Being around so many different people every day and being able to support them is truly an honour."
