Our Values at The Christie are:
- Make a Difference: We are courageous and try new ideas, and we are honest and take responsibility.
- Act with Kindness: We care for each other and our environment, and we show appreciation and celebrate success.
- Connect with People: We are inclusive, and we work together as one team.
Our values and behaviours define how we approach our work and treat each other. They apply to all our Christie colleagues and show how we interact with each other, our patients, and our visitors. Through demonstrating these behaviours, we shape our culture in a way that helps us to achieve our Christie Vision, and positively influence areas such as patient experience and outcomes, staff wellbeing and continuous improvement.
Our Values and Behaviours story
Over summer 2022, we were supported by our trade union partners to run a series of engagement activities with colleagues across the Trust. They shared stories about what a successful day at The Christie looked like and we explored what they, and others, were doing that made it a success.
These conversations formed our key values – we Act with Kindness to one another, we Connect with People to build feelings of belonging and community, and we Make a Difference for our colleagues and patients through our work, and our relationships with each other. Each value is as important as the others.
