Here you will find a list of department names and numbers to help you navigate around the hospital.
The Christie wayfinding system includes both department names and a location number – for example, radiotherapy at department 39. Appointment letters include the name and number of the department you need to go to.

When you arrive at the hospital from any entrance, simply follow the silver numbered signage you will see above each doorway and at each junction to reach your destination. If you do not know the number of the department you require, information points with a full department list are located at Wilmslow Road, Palatine Road and the main Oak Road entrance, outside the restaurant and on the main corridor.
You can also take a virtual tour around parts of our hospital or see an accessible list of our departments below.
