We exist to ensure that the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System can resolve macro GM healthcare issues with a single organisation which can afford appropriate economies of scale with specialist locality knowledge and experience. We retain our local sovereign entities- Bardoc, gtd healthcare, Mastercall Healthcare, and Salford Primary Care Together – but combine for areas of macro economic benefit and quality. The focus of the partnership is and always has been to improve patient outcomes, enhancing the lives of residents of GM which it has done exponentially, year on year.
On the celebration of our 5th anniversary the Greater Manchester Urgent Primary Care Alliance is offering further macro integration to help:
– Improve patient experience
– Ensure Social Value Reform
– Reduce the GM deficit
