The Christie Impact Report 2023-24

Horizon scanning

This year saw planning approval for the construction of a state-of-the-art multi-million pound scanning and imaging centre.

This brings us a step closer to transforming the scanning experience for patients.

Nearly all patients will have a CT scan at some point during their treatment. The current CT department was built in 1979. Back then, it treated just 20 people patients a day. Over the years, this has increased with the CT department now treating 120 patients a day. The new centre will boast an advanced 4D CT scanner. This scans faster and more accurately, showing the location and movement of the tumour and how it may affect nearby organs. The new centre will enable our medical colleagues to scan more patients than ever before, and in less time.

Newways of generating income

As we move into our second year of independence, one of the key elements of the Charity strategy is to explore new ways of income generation. For us this means exploring alternative means of generating new income streams for the Charity including developing social investment opportunities, which are in line with our charitable objects and which directly support or align with the Charity’s mission and purpose.
