I am currently having radiotherapy at The Christie at Withington.Everything is covid safe and I am presented with a new face mask each time at the door. I am treated with the most respect and everything was explained to me both in person and on the phone even now i have the transport from there which is save me a lot. The doctors and nurses who conduct the treatment talk me through each stage.They tells me each time a light is going to come on and when they are going to exit the room. I have nothing but praise for the staff from reception to exit. The Christie's have been amazing during my chemotherapy treatment . Thank you so much!

Ward 11 the christie.what an outstanding team of nurse and care workers they are fabulous. Always kind and willing to help. Always a cheery face and cheerful banta.

Thank you for all your help and care.and helping me when I had a wobble..I.will.never forget your care.

Lovely place staff are lovely

Visited and attended appointment with a friend who is undergoing the cancer treatments at Christies, one of the best centres in the UK and Europe! Staff so caring and helpful to all! Building has mega expanded since last visited in 2017. Beautiful garden very well maintained, available canteens and eating/ waiting areas around the building. Free car parking area D available short walking distance from Center. In absolute admiration and in deepest gratitude to all people who are providing amazing facilities and services day-to-day for cancer patients! Highly recommended!

Patients are treated with outstanding and compassionate care; so there is little wonder at the reputation this hospital has acquired over the years. Nothing is too much trouble and they really do understand the anxiety cancer brings with it. A huge thank you to every member of staff I've encountered throughout my journey, who have made it, thus far, much, much easier than it was prior to being referred here. Take heart, they really will do their absolute utmost to heal and support you. It truly is a wonderful place, full of hope and life.

Terrible hospital. My relative was an inpatient here on ward 12. The nurses were so uncaring and their mistakes caused me to lose my relative. Their EOL care was also woeful. The complaints response was also a disgrace. I just hope they none of my family ever have to be treated here in the future.

The Christie has saved my life twice. The first time was in 1999 when I was diagnosed with Breast cancer the second time was August 2021 after eight months of Chemo for Large Diffused B cell lymphoma I have been in remission since I finished my treatment in March 2022. The Lymphoma team were so supportive. On the two occasions when I was admitted as an in- patient the ward staff were kind and caring. I will never forget them and feel we should all be thankful we have a Centre of Excellence on our doorstep.thank you to the NHS

After a recent visit of my mum, she ended up with toast for her tea most days as when her tea arrived it was either cold or was that dry she couldn't even cut it up. I'm not sure how they expect people to feel a little better when they can't even serve them a decent meal. A meal that it supposed to be served hot which was served cold is totally unacceptable.

Just watched newsnight and disgusted that the christie publicly insulted a whistle-blower because they didn't believe her concerns regarding patient safety. All carers and their management must always support concerns being taken seriously no matter how trivial they may seem and without prejudice. A bulletin was sent to 3,000 staff in the christie downplaying the whistle-blower, which was sent out by the christie. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

We've been coming to The Christie, from Coventry, since the beginning of 2016. The staff & facilties are excellent. Whenever come here we always feel reassured, listened to & cared for. There is an WHSmith, M&S cafe in the foyer, Oak Road, (main), entrance, a small cafe by dept 42 & a restaurant, which does get very busy, does serve freshly cooked food as well as prepacked. There is a small coffee shop attached to the restaurant which is sometimes used as the payment point for the restaurant too resulting in long queues & potentially hot food cooling. There are a couple of 'chill zones' located here. Main one is in the foyer which staff also use. And the Conservatory which is a lovely area. Tho hot in Summer & cold in winter. Leading off from here are the gardens which are always beautifully maintained & a glorious place to sit, relax & reflect. Also in the main foyer is the Christie shop. Here there are Christie branded products. Metal water bottles, which I can vouch for are good, mugs, pens, pencils, note books, t-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, keyrings, plus various gift items

The staff have been absolutely brilliant. During a stressful period they have helped at every stage. Facilities are clean and modern and waiting times very reasonable.

Best cancer care centre in U.K. and a world renown centre of excellence for research and treatment.

World famous Cancer hospital, the staff are well trained, sympathetic, offer good advice, and are very accomodating, especially given the task at hand. They offer chemo, immuno, radio, and experimental therapy for all sorts of cancer. The nearby car park d, usually has space, and is currently free for patients. They organise transportation, do onsite blood tests, there's an M&S cafe, and restaurant. Support your local cancer hospice, and charity. When you come to need them, you realise how hard they work, with limited resources.

5 star service, best cancer hospital in uk, excellent caring staff

I second dianne comment.my dad is receiving care also in ward 12.the place is a shambles,nurses can never answer any questions reguarding care,medication general enquires about my dad.sent for 2 ecgs one day and they weren't sure why,caught covid and another infection which they say they don't know what it is.arrive at the hospital to an empty bed and no one knew where my dad was.the place is often left with used syringes left lieing about and pain meds in pots but not known what they are or why they haven't been given.you could ask the staff what ward he's currently on ( ward 12 fyi) and it would be same generic reply "I don't know I haven't been caring for him today,I don't know ive only just come on shift" noone knows the answers to anything suprised they know there own name!!! Having a relative recieve treatment at the christies is scary enough and causes so much anxiety yet they someone how they make it worse. Jason who works for palliative care loves the sound of his own voice.i never once for disbelieved when told my dad was dieing but he proceeded to tellme this in a condescending way 3x despite my distress.

My first time experience of Christie’s hospital :) Unfortunately found out I have stage 4 cancer just before Christmas. I’ve not been tolerating the pain well in my spine and one night the pain was so bad my excellent Macmillen nurse was really worried about me just incase I had spinal cord compression and she got me a bed in Christie hospital on an acute ward. Christie’s hospital worked on relieving that pain and making checks so fast, I was so greatfull to the team there that night for their fast past and understanding. Think I woke up a couple of patients as one said “can you keep the noise down” and the other one said “please close my curtains”….. sorry guys :) I was then transferred in the morning to ward 11 bed 13 the next day. Im not going to lie due to having a renal problems most my life I get pretty anxious about hospitals and stay overs. More so in a hospital I’ve never been too. What can I say porters nice friendly. Masks worn. The ward was so clean the cleaning staff work really hard as did the nurses in fact all staff really nice and friendly. I would like to say a special thank you to Yvonne she went above and beyond when I was feeling pretty low about things and a liver biopsy was about to get cancelled for the second time. She addressed the matter so kindly and with understanding and really it’s down to her I’m sure the biopsy got done that day so thank you Yvonne. Again though once that situation got addressed the team that did the procedure were fantastic. I also received Radiotherapy that evening on my spine to try and help with the pain. Been mine first time receiving radio therapy I had a bit of a cry, I think with it been such a long day and a rollercoaster of emotions i shouldn’t be ashamed about it. The radiotherapy girls came out and spoke to me, went though everything with me let me ask questions with regards to my kidney transplant been as safe as possible too. They were just great! Both teams I met down there were excellent, professional and also caring. While I’m using the words caring i would like to say ward 11 has a very special nurse on there called Ellie. She’s a real gem! a true asset to ward 11 and the NHS. Thank you guys and I do sincerely appreciate everything you all did for me to get me on my feet and home :) I now have a blood and clinic appointment on Wednesday so by no means is it all over but with the experience and care I received this past week I have no doubt I’m in the best hands.,

The Christie have been amazing during my treatment. They take extra special care of you during these stressful moments and I’m glad they’re responsible for my care. The staff go above and beyond, they’re truly lovely and have really helped me over the past few months.

I had an appointment with Dr Peter Mbanu at Christie's and I was looked after really well. I didn't have a long wait and the doctor was very good , especially at explaining my past scans. It is also a beautiful hospital and I enjoyed my day there, no one should be worried about attending appointments.

Great staff, really helpful and make you feel at ease. Treatment explained with as much info u may require and is straightforward.

one of worst cancer hospital in UK

I would just like to thank Dr Wylie,Cath Petterson and all the staff at cristies for looking after me for the last 5 years .We are so lucky to have cristies,I would also like to thank Dr Wylie secretary Wendy for always being very helpful when ever i have had to phone up.A big thanks again to all of you

My mum received outstanding care and support from the Calms team and Rads, they did everything possible to get my mum through her treatment. Christies hospital is second to none. I would also like to thank the staff in Marks and Spencer’s cafe they were all so lovely and kind, thank you 🙏

My dad was referred here after being treated at Royal Oldham for bowel cancer and was told it was terminal. His consultant was Dr Mulimitha and his understudies who continually lied to us over several months about the progression of his cancer, we were lead to believe that his cancer was growing marginally and only found out via his surgery doctor exactly how far it had spread. When I confronted Dr Mulimitha he actually had no real reason as to why my dad had been lied to, only to say they didn’t have the same records as his GP. My 79 year old dad and I sat in a waiting room for 2 hours after his appointment time only to be told “there are people here sicker than your father” I wish I had put a complaint in very soon after, I know people have received excellent treatment here but for my dad and I, the experience was horrific.

Amazing........The Teenage Young Adult (TYA) department have been amazing with my 16 year old son, the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and offer help in any way possible, they go out of their way to get to know their patients personally, which from a parents point of view is very warming knowing that your child is not just a 'number' to them, they are treated as individuals with the upmost care and respect, even after our first visit they welcomed my son by name and that was by a nurse who passed on the corridor after only seeing my son for less than 10 minutes to take bloods the previous visit, that meant a hell of a lot to us. If you or your child have to visit The Christie TYA department at any point rest assure you will be welcomed and well looked after

The members of staff are all so kind & knowledgeable. The gardens are so beautiful and give me so much pleasure. Credit goes to the devoted landscape gardener, he told me that he has a postgrad in landscape gardening.

Antonia Lepp I was recently in The Christie for several visits and treatment . From the moment I arrived and the whole time I was at the hospital the courtesy , consideration and kindness I received was beyond reproach . Hospital visits are never pleasant but if I have to Hospital The Christie is as near pleasant as possible !!Thank you all so much xx

Would like to give a huge appreciation for the nurses that have cared for my grandad in his last month having to stay at Christies. And for all the care over the past 11 years of him coming in for his check ups. He spoke highly of all of you and when I visited for the last time, he was still cracking jokes with us and one of the nurses. From helping him with his hair trim, to his final days. Thank you

I have been attending for almost 4 years and have always had positive experiences. I was fortunate to have my surgery here too and the care is second to none. During the pandemic the care team have been excellent in maintaining contact. So greatful for all they do

MY WIFE IS BEING TREATED FOR KIDNEY CANCER AT CHISTIE.S, ON MY VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL, I FOUND ALL STAFF MEMBERS TO BE KIND, CARING ,AND PROFESSIONAL IN THE WORK THAT THEY DO. THEY ARE TRULY SECOND TO NONE.

What wonderful nurses and doctors, nothing was to much trouble and they all worked together as a team, first in ICU they were amazing then to ward 10. I thank you all for looking after me so well your all angels

I have been a patient at christies for over 4 years and have regular check ups every 6 months ,I just want to say how friendly all the staff and consultants are nothing seems to be to much trouble for them.We appreciate all the work you do and where lucky to have christies to visit (a big thank you for taking care of me)

I am a "StreetCar" taxi driver and whenever I have collected customers from Christie Hospital, their transport staff have always been polite and friendly. Thank You Sameer Kadiri

One of the best hospital's in the world. Every step of the way of my treatment was just perfection. The food on the wards is exceptional. All the staff are so helpful and friendly.

I had my prostate cancer brachytherapy treatment at the Christie hospital department 16,haha calling it department instead of the old hospital ward is really nice idea. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks all the staffs in department 16 for their five star service and making my cancer treatment experience whole lot better, Thank you! And nurse call Jason , top man smoothly does it!!

Outpatient waiting times are bad lucky if you get seen within an hour of your appointment, pharmacy is slow,best bit of the hospital is the restaurant

I have been treated at christie for the last 10yrs and cannot thank Dr.lorrigan.jackie hodgetts and all the team enough.1st class treatment and 1st class care.nothing is too much trouble.thank you.

Can not sing the praises of the Dr's and nurses high enough. Very helpful and attentive from start to finish. My surgeon has an amazing talent, no issues like we'd expected. Well done professor Clarke. However I do have one advisory..do NOT eat anything off the Halal menu it is not fit for consumption I didn't eat for two days, it was tasteless and in noway anything like asian cooking considering it's Halal. Then I realised that the vegetarian choices on the normal menu was massively better. And well done to the person who rang the bell.xx

From the minute I attended to present day the staff on the Palatine ward and everyone in the Haematology depth have been amazing. DR Dennis and John Murray have been outstanding in their treatment, help and support.

Everyone so helpful, friendly and pleasant. Explains where to go for your appointment and as mum is 90 years old they produce a wheelchair as it was a long walk. Absolutely fantastic staff.

My husband was cared for on Ward 10 after HIPEC surgery. We couldn't have asked for better care, fantastic nurses and doctors. Thank you

Superb treatment and excellent care throughout from the passionate caring & dedicated staff, I'm happy to support The Christie through donating whenever I can.

If I could minus 1 I definitely would have. My father was at stage 4. We came to this hospital from over a hundred miles away. The staff seemed racist but couldn't say anything because of professionalism. They were very cold towards me and my father. They didn't seem to care. They were very nice to people of white colour. If you're a of a different colour, avoid this hospital at all costs! What a shame!

What a fabulous hospital I would like to thank all the radiographers on suite 8 radiotherapy for getting my mum through her treatment the reception staff for checking her in and the transport staff for getting us to and from the hospital

Have been treated like a Lord whilst receiving my course of radiotherapy. From the ladies at the traffic centre, the porters, the Doctors and a massive thanks to the Gents and Ladies in radiotherapy who are too numerous to mention. All absolute legends, thanks, God Bless you.

What is the point of having appointment times when every time I have to attend clinic you do not get seen at that time stated, several times I have waited over 2 hours, only a blood test today and now approaching an hour wait. Very poor organisation, NHS needs to improve dramatically.

I can honestly say I am so underwhelmed by this hospital after helping my brother get referred for stage 4 Neuroendocrine cancer. They seem completely disinterested and even left a voicemail saying they didn't know why my brother felt unwell......wow. Overrated and bad attitudes and I wish my brother had now stayed under our local hospital.

General info Chrisities is a reputable cancer hospital with an excellent advertising campaign highlighting its pioneering work on cancer treatment. My father, a retired GP of Pakistani origin, aged 71, was briefly admitted here in 2006, shortly after being diagnosed with late stage metastatic terminal cancer. During the stay I found that the attitude of nurses towards me and my father was generally quite cold and they seemed somewhat put out when doing their job. I experienced this even after his death, when I interacted with hospital reception staff to return a walking frame we had borrowed (which they didn't take and told me to return to the correct room myself). Post discharge support In my situation, the support my father received after discharge was inadequate and minimal, other than provision of this walking frame. I was the only other person living in the household at the time and was in full time employment working as a teacher in an academy in Bradford for which I drove a 60 mile round trip there and back daily. This meant that he was spending most of the day at home on his own, whilst taking oramorph, a medication that was causing hallucinations. I feel that as a relative, I should have received more support too as it was known that his health would only deteriorate further. Aside to this, I was also about to lose my second parent within the space of 3 years, aged 25. In education, we would expect cases such as these to be referred to social services. But, you may not get a choice to be admitted here as it is an NHS hospital but do ask questions about post- discharge care and procedures for when you or your relatives leave here. I have only come to know that this should happen at the age of 41, having recently completed my first stay in hospital (elsewhere) since having my tonsils removed as a child. I would also advise to spend time with your relatives here in person (if you can due to covid) so you can observe the general attitude towards them by staff and ensure the service is as good as advertised. I am not saying that everyone goes through the same experience and there are plenty of case studies that show people admitted here can get excellent care.

My dad died from renal cell carcinoma approximately 3 years ago. He was a patient at Christie’s from 2013. Professor Robert Hawkins certainly gave him a range of lifelines: Interleukin-2, Votrient, Cabozantonib, brain surgery, brain radiation, etc. My dad accepted these lifelines because he wanted to live. A sentiment that we all harboured. The side effects were often horrendous, but am sure he contributed to some important research.

The people here are doing a wonderful job.

Excellent care and staff. Really first class.

The Christie Hospital is a great place for patients, with their support workers and nurses providing a great service to people in need. From what I have seen and heard, their staff get treated terribly, especially by senior management, anyone above a band 7 seems to think they are better than anyone else and power hungry.

Nice and quiet!

What a place what a great job they do

Friendly doctors and nurses 😊

They saved my life, also gave me the best treatment, fun time with the other kids (facebook group) and support. This support meant a lot, since everyday each nurse or doctor would ask me on how i am and tell me nice things, like “ i loveee your nails, we are not allowed to paint our nails so we shall just look at patient’s “ everything went perfect and can i just talk about the assortment of games they have? Even a pool table, ping pong and air hockey, upstairs!!! Whenever i was hungry, they would give me food, snacks drinks, soo good 😋 I recommend it, best hospital experience

Excellent hospital with most of latest cancer treatments. Top specialists. The scan nurses are first class. It is one of best hospitals in country Has Excellent rate of care.

Helped my nan when she got cancer, was the sweetest place to go and sit with her the nurses was so welcoming and the doctors was really nice

Where do I even begin? These people are incredible, every single one of them.. They made the worst time of our lives much easier. The confidence, care and compassion from all staff was outstanding, nothing was ever to much trouble for them. Everything was explained throughly, any questions we had while at home we would call and leave a message and always have a response the same day. I will be forever grateful for everything they did for us, not only the cancer but also understanding his mental health and making allowances for me to stay on the ward whilst he had his surgery. I obviously hope we never have to fight cancer again but if we do I know we will be in safe hands under the care of The Christie and the most amazing staff I have ever met.

I Am not complaining about any staff member doctor or nurses!!, if You’ve been fortunate enough to Not!! experienced Ward 2 your very lucky especially the side rooms come on christys update this area, one tiny room area as 4 beds no windows, and this really bad for patience mental health after coming through modern ACU shock to the system. This Ward like going in time capsule 1940s it's disgusting in some areas even the lovely staff ask you to leave review to update . You still receive the quality of care, tho. Got to remember this is NHS.
