Strike action between Monday 2 October to Thursday 5 October 2023
Consultants and junior doctors at The Christie will both strike between 7am on Monday 2 October to 7am on Thursday 5 October 2023. Both consultants and junior doctors will still provide emergency care during their strikes.
We are proactively contacting patients with appointments that may be affected by this strike. If you have an appointment at the Trust on any of these dates, please continue to come to The Christie and our other centres as planned unless we contact you to tell you otherwise. There may be longer waits than usual in clinics during this time.
Please do not call to check if your appointment is still going ahead.
We currently have over 40 existing volunteers and so vacancies are not always available. When we do have vacancies, we will advertise them on this page and you can apply for any roles you are interested in.
The Transfusion Committee meets remotely every 3-4 months. The meetings are held using MS Teams. Volunteers should be prepared to meet remotely until further notice. Meeting if/when they resume face to face will be held in the main hospital site on Wilmslow Road, in the haematology seminar room. The Transfusion Committee is currently undergoing a committee update to encompass representatives from all clinical divisions. The committee oversees all aspects of the Transfusion Service in The Christie, Clinical Pathology Partnership and The Christie Private Care.
To help ensure that the work that we do is informed by patients and the public we require a patient or relative (of a patient treated at the Christie), to join the Transfusion Committee. The user representative would be recruited as a Christie volunteer through the usual process.
The role will require you to be a resident of The Christie’s patient catchment area.
