Membership at The Christie

Keeping in touch Our membership database has around 9,000 public members who have joined over a number of years. As with most organisations today, we use email as the main way of letting our members know about news, information and events from around the Trust. We currently have email addresses for less than half of our members and we want to increase this number to make sure we can send you the information you have requested and communicate with as many of our dedicated members as possible. If you think we haven’t got your email address or you have changed it in the last couple of years, please let us know by emailing us at the-christie.members@nhs.net There are 3 levels of communications to choose from: • General information (sent to all our members) – this includes Headlines magazine, your invitation to the Annual Members’ Meeting and other Trust-wide events such as open days. We will also contact you to vote for your governor when elections take place. • Events and meetings – we will let you know about any departmental events or meetings that might be of interest to you. Our volunteers work in non-clinical roles across a range of departments and make a huge difference to our patients’ experience by giving their time. Volunteers can work up to 10 hours a week but must first successfully complete our mandatory training, as well as DBS and ID checks. We want our teams to reflect the diversity of the patients and communities we serve and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities. To find out what volunteering roles we have available and to apply for specific roles, please visit our website at: christie.nhs.uk/volunteers Volunteering at The Christie Could you be a volunteer?

• Focus groups and online surveys – this is a great way to have your say on how we shape and improve our services at The Christie. Focus groups take place monthly online on different subjects and we will email you with information about these as they are arranged. To make sure we have your correct details and that we are sending you the information you would like, you can complete the form on our website: christie.nhs.uk/join and we will update your details. If you no longer wish to be a member and would like us to remove you from our records, please let us know by emailing us at the-christie.members@nhs.net or by phone 0161 446 8616.
