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.
Anne Crook has recently retired after being a counsellor at The Christie for 15 years.
Her role sat in our psycho-oncology service, which is made up of a range of mental health experts, including mental health nurses, psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists.
“Good cancer care is about more than the treatment; it’s about understanding the effect it has on the whole person, including their mind,” she says. “When someone gets referred in, we discuss it as a team and make sure they’re seeing the right professional for them. It’s a really personalised approach.
