Each and every person who works at The Christie performs a valuable role which directly links to patient care. Whether it is a nurse delivering chemotherapy treatments, a member of the administration team sending out an appointment letter, a surgeon performing a robotic procedure, the domestic teams ensuring our wards are spotlessly clean, or an IT engineer keeping our computer systems running, there is a huge variety of roles that come together to make The Christie special.
All our staff go to tremendous lengths to help each and every one of our patients and together: We are The Christie.
At The Christie, we know it’s really important to provide our patients with help and support throughout their care – we don't just treat their cancer, we treat the whole person.
Lizzie McCulloch is our ‘Living with cancer manager’. She works in our supportive care team and looks after some of the vital services that we have to help patients in a holistic way – this covers everything from our information centre, where patients can get important advice, our wig service, spiritual care, and even our art room where patients can learn a new skill which can help them cope with the day to day stresses of cancer treatment.
Lizzie joined The Christie in 2010 as a chemotherapy nurse, before becoming a research nurse, then a clinical skills trainer, before moving into her current role.
