Christie staff go above and beyond their jobs

Pride In Oldham Nominees at The Christie Oldham, with lead radiographer Julie Davis

STAFF at Oldham’s Christie cancer unit have been nominated for a pride in Oldham award.


The local Christie, which opened at the Royal Oldham Hospital in 2010, was the first in a series of satellite radiotherapy and chemotherapy centres linked to the headquarters in south Manchester, which is one of Europe’s leading cancer care centres.

Julie Davis, lead radiographer in Oldham, said: “It is really about the staff and how hard they work. It is their job but each one of them goes above and beyond what’s required of them.

“There are a lot of initiatives from staff and we get massive community support, which I’m delighted about. It’s about a group of people who go above and beyond for patients. They do it because they care.”

Stephanie Underhill, a community fundraising officer with the Christie Charity, said: “Working for the charity and visiting our Oldham site regularly, I’ve seen first-hand the skilled and professional manner in which the whole team works.”
