Greater Manchester Training Hub Employer
Additional to our work in Bolton, we are also the lead employer for the Greater Manchester Training Hub.
As part of our collaboration with the other GM GP Federations, we lead on running the training hub, the GM Workforce Bank (a GM-wide online system that connects primary care professionals to vacant shifts in primary care organisations) and a Lipids Management programme (helping people with high cholesterol reduce their risk of stroke and heart attacks).
