Primary Care Provider Board

Background Information – GM Commissioning Landscape 

NHS Greater Manchester (NHS GM) is the Integrated Care Board for Greater Manchester, responsible for making decisions about health services across Greater Manchester and in the ten boroughs and cities.

The creation of NHS Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership (Greater Manchester ICP),  gives us the opportunity to  improve the health and wellbeing of the local population by working closely with all partners and communities.

Community Pharmacy Provider Board
The Community Pharmacy Provider Board (CPPB) consists of members from CPGM Board. They work with wider primary care colleagues via the Primary Care Provider Board (PCB) with NHS GM Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership to support integrated working with wider health and social care partners across Greater Manchester to represent the sector, support local transformation and develop new initiatives through collaborative working.

Primary Care Provider Board
The Primary Care Board established a unified and collective voice for Primary Care Providers within the GM system in 2015.

The PCB Greater Manchester Primary Care Provider Board (PCB) brings together the four primary care disciplines of community pharmacy, dentistry, general practice, and optometry. The board is chaired by the CPGM Director of Strategy and Transformation.

The PCB works to transform and develop new models of care to meet local health population needs and improve patient outcomes in collaboration with the GM ICS, ICP and wider health and social care partners, operating at three levels; neighbourhood, place (10 Greater Manchester boroughs) and system.
