EIGHTON Hospital’s Macmillan Centre has been awarded the Christie Quality Mark to recognise the excellent cancer care that patients receive.

The successful accreditation follows an unannounced inspection by three senior nurses which included interviews with patients and staff. The Christie team also issued questionnaires, observed care, checked the facilities and assessed data during the daylong review.

They graded the Macmillan Centre on themes including:

@ Putting patients at the centre of care

@ Celebrating and sharing best practice

@ Demonstrating a commitment to quality improvement

@ Delivering evidence-based practice

@ Upholding the christie’s values.

The Christie Quality Mark is designed to ensure consistency and excellence across its affiliated sites.
