The Victoria Unit, at the Royal Oldham Hospital, is one of the first chemotherapy centres to be awarded the Christie Quality Mark, which highlights high standards of care.
Plaques and badges commemorating the achievement were presented by Christie executive director of nursing and quality, Jackie Bird.
The treatment centre at the main Christie hospital in Didsbury also received the award.
The Christie Quality mark has been developed by the specialist cancer centre following months of research. Patients were involved in the award’s development.
Ms Bird said: “This award demonstrates the hard work and dedication to delivering the best possible standard of chemotherapy care to our patients on both a clinical and personal level.
“We want our patients to know we promise the standard of care will always be the very highest, wherever that care is provided.”
Further departments delivering Christie services are expected to qualify for The Christie Quality Mark over the coming months.
