The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Annual Report & Accounts 2021-22

centre will help us achieve our ambition of leading the world in clinical trial recruitment, supporting the development of new and kinder cancer therapies. Whilst some delays have been inevitable, research progress does not stall. Despite the challenges we have faced, our programme of clinical trials has continued, giving patients access to new treatments and new hope. Alongside our research activities, our expertise also remains in demand. We have been able to continue progression in both The Christie School of Oncology and The Christie International. Our world-renowned clinicians continue to be in demand across the globe for their knowledge and experience in cancer care and education. The Christie is proud to achieve everything it does through a whole team effort. None of our achievements would be possible without our staff, partners, governors, members, volunteers, charity, patients and so many others we work with across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, as well as nationally and internationally. We would like to say thank you to all those involved for your commitment and dedication in our goal to provide the very best care for our patients and for your continued support during another difficult year. As we look ahead to 2022/2023, we know that there will be further challenges to face. But as we continue to move forward, we look ahead with positivity.
