NHS Greater Manchester is evolving how we work together. We want to deliver the ambitions of the NHS 10 Year Plan and build a healthier, more sustainable future for Greater Manchester. Our new operating model outlines how we will do this.
The 10 year health plan focuses on three strategic shifts:
-
Treatment to prevention: keeping people well, not jus treating illness
-
Hospital to community: moving care closer to home through joined – up services
-
Analogue to digital: using technology and data to make healthcare smarter and faster
This feedback has helped shape the final operating model. It will be implemented from 1 April 2026 onwards and sets out how NHS GM will function as a strategic commissioner. It clarifies how the roles and responsibilities of local and central teams will come to together to improve outcomes, reduce duplication and make better use of resources.
You can read the full operating model on our website by visiting the ‘Our Plans and Reports’ page. You can also read the feedback we received from colleagues and stakeholders.
