Summary
The ‘Who we are and what we do’ booklet provides the most up-to-date overview of the PCB, how it works and its ambitions for the future.
Partners involved or interested in learning more about Greater Manchester Primary Care Provider Board (PCB) can now delve into a new booklet.
The ‘Who we are and what we do’ booklet provides the most up-to-date overview of the PCB, how it works and its ambitions for the future.
The PCB recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with a celebratory video, and since it was established in 2015, it has grown and evolved along with the Greater Manchester health and care system.
The organisation continues to represent the four disciplines of primary care providers: community pharmacy, dentistry, general practice and optometry.
It brings together the four discipline sub-boards and enables them to have a strong and unified provider voice in the system, while also supporting 1,800 primary care provider organisations to have an individual voice and make individual decisions when needed.
However, the PCB is much more than a board of representatives.
Greater Manchester primary care is in a strong position for future changes to healthcare delivery and is playing an important role in delivering the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, the Greater Manchester Strategy 2025-2035 and the GM Primary Care Blueprint
All four sectors are ready to drive primary care transformation forward, with the appropriate commitment, representation and recognition from the system and wider partners.
The ‘Who we are and what we do’ booklet will help to showcase what the PCB and primary care have achieved to date, and what we can achieve – collectively – in the future.
Printed copies of the booklet are helping PCB leaders have strategic conversations with partners, and a digital version is available to download on the PCB website.
The website contains further information about the work of PCB and the four sub-boards, and is the first place to go for all its news and updates.
The PCB has a small but effective delivery team that works with hundreds of primary care providers each year, delivering online and in-person training, tailored programmes, and providing individual colleague and practice support and mentoring.
Any organisation wishing to discuss opportunities with the PCB, can contact info.gmpcb@nhs.net
