The Christie Foundation Trust Annual Report and Accounts 2021-22

Our performance

Foundation Trust (UCLH) in December 2021. Paediatric capacity has been well utilised due to the closure of overseas PBT providers, with a particular focus on the general anaesthetic (GA) provision. The introduction of new working practices has led to improvements in both safety and efficiency, changes that will be retained as we move out of the pandemic. Work with the University of Manchester, Radiotherapy Education and Radiotherapy Research teams has continued supporting a record number of submissions to professional conferences and scientific journals alongside the continued success of the International Proton School. The Christie team were awarded the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer (CAHPO) Award for Creative Provision of Placements thanks to the delivery of the Clinical Placement Expansion Programme which gave undergraduate students the opportunity to develop key knowledge and skills relating to PBT supporting the national profile of PBT and future radiographer recruitment.
