Organiser Manchester Primary Care Partnership
Organiser of Devolution:- In Sickness and in Health
Manchester Primary Care Partnership is the largest GP Federation in the country enjoying 100% membership of all 90 GP Practices across the city delivering services to a patient population of circa 650,000.
Primary Care delivers 90% of all face-to-face clinical activity and the formation of the Federation provides a vehicle by which those working within Primary Care can have a voice. This has been recently recognised via the formation of the Local Care Organisation (LCO) of which Primary Care represented by The Manchester Primary Care Partnership will have an equal shareholder stake of 25%. Moving forward this will ensure that patients, staff and healthcare professionals working within General Practice will continue to have an equal voice and be able to influence future models of care.
The Federation has achieved much in a relatively short period, whilst its influence, reputation and reach continue to grow. After successfully securing wave 2 GP access monies from the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund, the Federation now delivers the largest GP Extended Access Scheme in the country.
The Partnership is also heavily involved in Primary Care Transformation and the Devolution of Manchester’s Health and Social Care services.
