The Christie to open new £26m cancer centre
The Christie is set to open a new £26 million cancer centre in Cheshire after plans were approved by Cheshire East Council.
Set to be built in the grounds of Macclesfield District General Hospital, the new centre will bring together cancer services - including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, holistic support, outpatient care, palliative care and clinical trials - into one purpose-built site. Work on the site is set to begin in early 2020.
The Christie said the centre would care for patients in Cheshire, North Staffordshire and the High Peak area of Derbyshire, and will include specialist examination rooms, a CT simulator where treatments are planned, plus counselling and complementary therapy rooms.
Plans suggest that it will have space to accommodate 40,000 patient visits a year including 15,000 radiotherapy treatments and 4,000 chemotherapy treatments.
