Introduction & contents

Welcome to the winter  edition of Chinwag 

Welcome to the latest edition of our staff magazine. As we embark on another new year, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone well for 2020. As ever, here at The Christie, we have much to look forward to in the coming months. We’re looking forward to construction work getting underway on two vitally important projects of course, which are our new centre at Macclesfield and our ambitious new research facility. We also have exciting plans in the pipeline to overhaul our scanning

department and assessment unit, more details of which will be announced in the next few weeks. Of course, these wonderful new facilities are important in helping us provide a truly world-class cancer service, but the most important factor in all our successes remains the people who work here. The skill and commitment of the teams here at The Christie is what makes projects

like these a reality. Roger Spencer, Chief Executive
