The Christie at Macclesfield

Planning permission has been granted for our new Christie Cancer Centre in the grounds of Macclesfield District General Hospital, which will provide Christie cancer care closer to home for more than 1,500 new patients a year.

Bringing The Christie to Cheshire: an artist’s impression of the new centre

Demolition of the existing facilities will start in the new year, with the development of the facility to commence in April 2020. The Christie charity has launched a major new fundraising appeal to raise £23m to fund the project which has got off to a flying start with £2m already raised.

We were delighted to welcome the Manchester City trophies to The Christie in June. They were displayed in our Oak Road reception area for patients, staff and visitors to have their photo taken with this year’s trophy haul. A big thank you to City legend Mike Summerbee for coming down and having his photo taken with our patients and staff. Meanwhile stars from Manchester City Women’s Football Club were on hand to help switchboard operator Keith Moran (pictured centre with Chief Executive Roger Spencer) celebrate a magnificent 40 years’ service at The Christie.
