WHO ARE WE?

The Alliance is recognised as a Strategic Asset to help unlock the development of the Integrated Health Care model across Greater Manchester. As a collective of Social Enterprises we ensure that the NHS pound is spent on delivering NHS services.

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 & Wigan GP Alliance – 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
– Establish best in class Urgent Primary Care principles of deliverys
