Staff stories

“The size of the hospital and the number of services we offer has changed over the years, but the family atmosphere hasn’t. I really love working here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

“I became an EDI champion because making sure that everyone is able to be themselves and fulfil their potential is really important to me. I want to share my experiences as a black, neurodiverse woman and help and support wherever I can.”

“Most of my clients tend to be women, and it is nice to be able to help them at a vulnerable time. I love it when they come back and see me afterwards looking happier with their new hairstyle.”

"My managers... have been supportive of me getting more involved in research. It also helps that the hospital has a long history of pioneering new and kinder treatments for cancer."
