Careers

A career in primary care is rewarding and varied; with a broad mix of roles in lots of different settings, a strong sense of team spirit and the opportunity to build meaningful connections with the local community. Working at the forefront of patient care, primary care teams are able to work with patients on a one to one basis, often over a prolonged period of time, creating lasting bonds with patients and their family members or carers.

Primary care services are for most people the first point of contact in the health and care system. Primary care sees services including GP practices, pharmacy, dentistry and optometry working together to provide holistic care to patients and serving the health needs of local communities. Here in Greater Manchester they are vital to our health and care devolution, and are at the heart of changes to deliver better and more connected services in our local communities.
