What We Do

We are Rochdale Borough Primary Care Workforce and Education Locality leads.

We work in partnership with local education providers, especially Hopwood College, Rochdale College, Rochdale Training, Salford University, Open University and Greater Manchester Training Hub.

We are approved as an At Scale learning environment by NHSE. We work with all local education providers to promote careers in primary care, and we are starting to scope out into Social Care.
