Greater Manchester runs its own health and social care differently from the rest of England, and anyone working here has to understand that. Ten boroughs, a devolved settlement, and a genuine effort to join up hospital and community care.
It means services here can be better connected than elsewhere. It also means a family can fall through a gap between two boroughs without anyone noticing.
Manchester and Salford
Dense, young in places, and changing fast. A lot of older residents in the inner city have watched their neighbourhood rebuild around them and have fewer people nearby than they used to.
Isolation is as much a part of the picture here as any medical need. A carer who sits down for ten minutes is doing something clinically useful, not being inefficient.
Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale and the north
The old mill towns have strong communities and significant health inequality. People here often develop long term conditions earlier than the national average, which means care sometimes starts at sixty rather than eighty.
We do not treat younger clients as unusual. Somebody in their fifties with a long term condition needs support built around a working life, not a retirement.
Stockport, Trafford and the south
Leafier, older, and generally more settled, with families who research thoroughly and ask direct questions. Good. Ask us anything.
