Primary Care Academy Team < Back Dawn O'Brien Primary Care Academy Team PCA Manager I am the Manager of Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Primary Care Academy. I started my career in the NHS 16 years ago working as a receptionist for a GP surgery in Hyde. After 5 years I then moved to an administrator role in the NHS working with a children’s team. After 7 years I then moved to Tameside Hospital as part of the Foundation Team working with junior doctors and their education and I was then offered a post setting up the new Enhanced Training Programme which was to look at the introduction of new roles within Primary Care and developing placements for undergraduate students with a view to encouraging them to consider a career in Primary Care. In July 2018 I was offered the opportunity to become the Manager of the HMR Primary Care Academy working with the wonderful Dr Gill Tonge and Rochdale Health Alliance, developing a team that will hopefully help change Primary Care across HMR! I have a passion for education and feel that with the team we are building then the Academy will go from strength to strength. I am also mum to two wonderful children (most of the time), myself and my partner (Andy) are also foster parents to two other children and have fostered for 7 years, we recently added to the chaos with our adorable Morkie puppy Maggie. We enjoy walking and looking for dog-friendly places to take Maggie Moo to explore!

6 Back Healey Dell Heritage Centre and Tea Rooms In the nature reserve’s converted ranger office, there’s now an exhibition about the Dell’s industrial heritage and a quaint tearoom. This Victorian building was restored in 2013 and has quickly become essential to any visit to the reserve. You can come for a light meal, high tea or decadent chocolate fondue, or to peruse the heritage room, which also puts on short-term exhibitions by local artists. The centre is open on Fridays and weekends, and your meal or tea will often be accompanied by a musician on the baby grand piano. Previous Next

12 Back Queen’s Park This Green Flag Park came about after the wealthy local merchant Martin J. Newhouse died in 1873. He didn’t make a will so his estate went to Queen Victoria, who donated it back to Heywood. With those funds, the town built a dignified park for its residents, on the ground sloping down to the River Roch. Queen’s Park has held onto its Victorian layout and monuments like the Lodge House and Victoria Fountain. Awaiting you here is a riverside path, a lake, a visitor centre, a cafe, play areas for little ones, formal flowerbeds, bowling greens and spaces reserved for wetlands and wildlife. The visitor centre puts on a small exhibition about the history of the park, while the lake’s island is inhabited by a large flock of herons. Previous Next

8 Back Greenbooth Reservoir There are spellbinding walks to be had at this string of four moorland water reservoirs to the north-west of Rochdale. The three upper reservoirs to the north were completed in 1846 in the steep valley above the village of Greenbooth. But as Rochdale grew in the post-war years another reservoir was needed, and so the village was wiped from the map. The lower reservoir was opened in 1965, and on the side of the dam is a plaque in memory of the village. There’s a choice of walking loops on this natural ledge overlooking Greater Manchester, letting you explore the landscape for anything from 30 minutes to several hours. In this rugged Pennine setting you’ll be in the company of flocks of sheep, and will have views to savour to the south, and across to Yorkshire in the east. Previous Next
