This week we'll be celebrating all things primary care! We'll be highlighting the achievements of our Greater Manchester primary care colleagues and showcasing some of the things they do to go that extra mile for patients.
Primary care is the heart of our communities — from GPs and pharmacists to dentists and opticians. They’re not just there when we’re unwell, but play a vital role in prevention, early diagnosis, and lifelong wellbeing.
Follow the link in the comments to find out how primary care has evolved and to read about some of the incredible achievements of our Greater Manchester colleagues since the launch of the NHS Greater Manchester Primary Care Blueprint.
