    We are delighted to announce that the first patient will be treated at the UK’s first @NHSEngland high energy proton beam therapy centre this month. This is a major milestone in cancer care - patients will benefit hugely from having this national service available in Manchester.

    A very special moment for Mason today - he's one of our first patients to receive proton beam therapy at The Christie. Mason got to ring the bell after 28 sessions in our new centre. buff.ly/2R7Ceki #pbt #christieprotons

    Mason Kettley is one of our first patients to be treated in our new proton beam therapy centre for a brain tumour. He said: “I’m nervous about what is going to happen, but I’m also excited to start this treatment. I’m so grateful to all the doctors involved in my care."

    People from all over the UK and the world work at The Christie. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to provide the care we do. We're proud to have a diverse workforce supporting a diverse community here in the Greater Manchester. More 👉 bit.ly/4dRGfnR

    “Even when going through treatment for prostate cancer, there can be moments of lightness. I wanted to do something a bit different to mark the end of my radiotherapy.” 76-year-old Ray Gelder loves dancing and certainly knows how to ring the bell with style. 👇

    It was brilliant to have the @ManCity women's team in earlier this week to visit some of our patients and spread some festive cheer.
