Stakeholders Rochdale Health Alliance's work plan is guided by priorities identified in discussions with key primary care stakeholders and considers current local work programmes and priorities in primary care organisations. We plan to: hold discussions with key stakeholders via attendance at various forums to look at national work programmes, priorities and recommendations to look at the potential for savings and improving efficiency to discuss opportunities for improving the quality of patient care and improving safety.

What are Primary Care Networks Primary care networks are based on GP-registered lists, typically serving local communities of around 30,000 to 50,000. As primary care networks develop they will ultimately comprise of multidisciplinary teams such as physiotherapists, social prescribers, pharmacists, paramedics and community nurses. The Networks should be small enough to provide personalised care, but large enough to benefit from economies of scale, through better collaboration between GP practices and community care providers.
