Writing it down was cathartic & will hopefully help others to be their best be that patients, friends or colleagues #BloodSweatTears

Every year, our 3,000 brilliant staff look after around 60,000 people from across Greater Manchester and beyond. We asked some of those people to be in a new video about our hospital and the treatment and care we deliver. Here's what they had to say. 👇

Great session on prehab and neo-adjuvant treatments in colorectal cancer from @ClaireLArthur & Mike Braun & @prehab4cancer @GMCancerAcademy #GMCRC24

@ClaireLArthur from @TheChristieNHS presenting strategies for organ preservation in early rectal cancer @ACPGBI 2023. Lucky to have your invaluable input for at our Pelvic MDT. Albeit for the more advanced end of the spectrum! @GMCancerWfandEd

Wonderful rectal cancer study day @TheChristieNHS organised by many including @paulo_sutt @ClaireLArthur @vjplested. Patients from @GMCancerWfandEd should have access to wide range of treatments for early and advanced disease through their MDTs @ACPGBI @CRUKresearch @IMPACTaudit

Three weeks to go and looks like it might actually happen this time 😬@TheChristie @Marathon_Mcr

Multi-modality treatment aiming to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer. Great to work in such a dynamic and patient focussed team @TheChristieNHS

The Christie's £26m cancer centre in #Macclesfield has marked its first anniversary this month. Funded through £23m from @TheChristie, it has transformed cancer care for NHS patients, providing over 32,000 appointments in its first 12 months 👉 https://t.co/KhkmDIOdHb

Such an important project standardising pelvic reirradiation SABR and collecting meaningful outcome data across the uk - thank you to all involved!

Measuring outcomes changes outcomes… love this

The return to Consultant life @TheChristieNHS after mat leave was never going to be easy but things like this really soften the blow - a beautiful hand made gift from a patient’s wife #knittingtwitter - incredible, thank you!

And what a team they are! Great work folks!

Congratulations to @ClaireLArthur for leading the discussions and evidence based development of our regional protocols to deliver TNT to those patients who will benefit most @TheChristieNHS @GM_Cancer

Yesterday it hit the news that in Nottingham we're currently not able to deliver a full chemotherapy service. This is my personal reflection on what it's like to work as an oncologist at the moment. Nottingham is not alone in this.

One of the emotions I struggle with most as an oncologist is guilt In trying to help, I still do harm, and cannot always discern therapeutic benefit So these beyond-gracious words from a patient’s widow are a balm to my queasy conscience Sometimes I wonder who’s treating whom

The whole #oncology workforce have performed miracles to keep cancer care going throughout the pandemic, but years of under-investment in staff will mean we cannot just keep going at this pace. All staff groups need more numbers - now. But we also need to change how we work

Yet another trial showing the benefit of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for older adults receiving chemotherapy @GeriSoc @antheasaif @Ng_Cass Why would you not want to deliver CGA to an older, frailer, patient receiving cancer treatment? Benefits becoming increasingly clear

Dr Victoria Lavin, Consultant clinical oncologist at @TheChristieNHS, shares why #TheChristieAtMacclesfield is such an important project this #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth. 👉 https://t.co/UKayhYS2Tr
