Chinwag - Autumn 2019

Introduction & contents

Welcome to the summer  edition of Chinwag 

Welcome to the latest edition of our staff magazine which I hope you will find interesting and informative. As ever, there is much to celebrate here at The Christie and I’m particularly delighted this edition features the details of our annual staff awards – a true occasion for celebration. I couldn’t be more proud of all my colleagues at The Christie, but this event in particular is an important reminder of just how forward-thinking and committed our team is.

The fact that almost 300 people were nominated shows the true depth of talent we have at The Christie. Our staff awards are all about celebrating the dedication and innovation shown to our patients by staff and it is important to recognise that. All our winners should be very proud of their efforts and their willingness to put patient care at the centre of everything we do.
