Each day is both challenging and rewarding in equal measures, with cancer treatments constantly evolving and new types of drugs being trialled each year.

We are at the forefront of developments in terms of drug innovation and team development as we were one of the first Hospitals in the country to introduce the progressive role of Aseptic Practitioner to the Aseptic workforce and we are looking forward to adding the Science Manufacturing Technician qualification to our large portfolio of training and staff qualifications here at The Christie Hospital.
