Cancer centre named one of UK's top places to work in healthcare

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, the specialist cancer centre for Merseyside and Cheshire, has been named one of the best places in the country to work in healthcare in the 2015 annual analysis by the Health Service Journal (HSJ).

The Top 120 Best Places to Work in healthcare list was compiled after looking at data on all the different NHS organisations and assessing staff satisfaction with their roles, the working environment, corporate culture and communications, employee engagement, leadership and planning, training and development and relationships between staff and their supervisors.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – which specialises in leading cancer care and research – came out as one of the top 120 performing trusts nationally.

The Trust employs over 1000 staff. In addition to its main site in Wirral, it also runs Clatterbridge Cancer Centre Liverpool – a radiotherapy unit in Aintree – and provides chemotherapy and outpatient cancer services across Merseyside and Cheshire.

Andrew Cannell, Chief Executive of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, said: “I am delighted that The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre has once again been named as one of the best places in the UK to work in healthcare.

“This recognition comes directly from staff feedback and I am delighted that they feel supported and proud of where they work.

"Our staff are our greatest asset and they work tirelessly to deliver high quality care and continuously aim to improve the patient experience.”
