Spotlight events

Learn about the impact that The Christie Charity has on patient care

The Christie Charity Spotlight events are an opportunity to hear from leading clinicians about their own area of work at The Christie and to learn about the impact that The Christie Charity has on treatment options and services available to patients.

They are free to attend and open to anyone who would like to hear more about our work.

Spotlight on the colorectal and peritoneal team

Join us for our next event on Wednesday 14 October 2026 from 12 noon to 1pm, where the colorectal and peritoneal team at The Christie will be sharing updates on Charity-funded projects. The Colorectal and Peritoneal Oncology Centre (CPOC) at The Christie has an international reputation for treating advanced and early colorectal cancer, appendix and peritoneal tumours.

These types of cancer can be challenging to treat, involving specialist knowledge and care. Charity funding enables the CPOC team to continue its cutting-edge work and expand understanding and expertise in dealing with these types of cancer.
