Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of our Partnership Update from the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership (GM ICP). This monthly bulletin is an overview of the work underway across our health and care system; the progress being made and any key developments.
A message from Andy Burnham
Hello everyone,
It’s been a pretty eventful first month as co-chair of the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, getting off to a great start with our city-region proclaimed as the “poster child for devolution”.
This national – and truly well-deserved – recognition from the think tank The King’s Fund shows the strength of our devolved approach. By working closely with communities, focusing on how we can really tackle the wider determinants of health to keep people healthier, we’re leading the way in making sure fewer people need hospital care in the first place.
There is no doubt population health happens at place. Our health devolution journey has a simple but fundamental principle: that more local decision-making can deliver better outcomes for people. It’s happening everywhere we look, in each of our 10 places. For example, across GM around 50,000 children and young people and their families are supported by My Happy Mind, which provides help for children and families who are struggling with mental health issues and are on a waitlist. Around 1,500 additional health checks are being delivered in Tameside’s workplaces and high-risk groups, while in Salford we’ve had the highest uptake of the NHS health check for people with a mental illness. Breast cancer screening rates in Stockport are higher than the national average thanks to increased community engagement, and more than 400 people in Oldham have been referred in just three months to the Move More exercise referral scheme.
Just a small example of how collaboration between local partners and community-level care being at heart of everything we do is putting the well-deserved spotlight on Greater Manchester. Yes, there are still challenges and pressures that we face, but we’re making progress delivering better, more efficient public services that are making Greater Manchester healthier for everyone.
Take care,
Andy
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester

National think tank shines spotlight on Greater Manchester's approach to improving health
In a new report, national think tank – the King’s Fund has praised Greater Manchester (GM) for its work on population health and the improvements it has made to health outcomes. Calling GM “the poster child for devolution” in England, it recognises the time, effort and resources put in place across our city-region to help people to live good lives, improve wellbeing and prevent illness.
The report identifies key learning from GM's journey for others, including the importance of a strong and shared vision at system and local authority/place level, committed and distributed leadership and long-term unshakeable commitment over time. Investing in capability and an openness to scrutiny, learning and challenge support this.
It also reiterates the key role of population health as a core goal of integrated care systems, but recognises that integrated care systems (ICS) across the country are dealing with funding cuts, diverting efforts away from fulfilling their founding principles. The new government has an opportunity to reset this, through creating better conditions for ICSs and through ensuring that population health approaches underpin its health mission approach and connect with its wider approach to devolution in England.
During the review, the Kings Fund undertook three detailed case studies of the approach to population health in three areas in GM (Bury, Stockport, Manchester) to understand in-depth how a population health system is understood and translated into practice at locality level. In each of these they saw a strong coherence between economic and population health goals and plans; collaborative, cross-system working; clear governance, accountability and decision‑making at the right level; and an emphasis on working with communities.
While this new publication recognises the financial challenges that the NHS and other public sector organisations face, it makes the case for continuing with a population health approach and the strong evidence that improvements in health can have for the economy at large.

How a movement for movement in Greater Manchester is delivering more active lives

Live Well event is a huge success
Last month, nearly 500 people from across Greater Manchester came together to talk about growing community power and decision making at the third event in the Live Well movement building series.
The event harnessed the strength and creativity of the GM Live Well movement as public services move towards a powerful ambition to further transform neighbourhood working towards prevention.
Live Well is Greater Manchester's commitment to everyday support in every neighbourhood, changing how we work with communities and in public services to grow opportunities for everyone to Live Well.
With 12 breakout sessions, panel debates, lightning talks, a choir, youth band, walking tours, legislative theatre, a power map and community reporting, even the living room themed furniture was community-powered (thanks to Mustard Tree).
Elephants Trail's team of community reporters defined community power as ‘finding ways to make things happen’. They saw people coming together and shifting things for the better and created a film called ‘Able’. Greater Manchester leaders highlighted their collective call for the devolution of power out of Westminster, across our systems and into the hands of neighbourhoods and communities.
Liz Kendall, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions said: “You’re pioneering in Greater Manchester. We want to learn and unleash the huge potential.”
A five minute video summary of the event is available on YouTube.

Smoking rates in Greater Manchester hit record low
Greater Manchester’s (GM) smoking rates have dropped to an all-time low, meaning less people in GM are smoking.
Figures released from 2023, show an estimated 284,000 adults (12.5% of the population) now smoke within GM with a record 36,800 adults giving up smoking last year alone. The drop puts GM closer than ever to the national average smoking rates (11.6%) – marking the first time the gap has been less than 1%.
The region’s 1.8% reduction in smoking rates demonstrates significant progress toward achieving the city-region’s smokefree 2030 target (5% smoking prevalence or less).
In addition to the reduction in general smoking rates, GM has also achieved record lows in smoking among pregnant women with Smoking at the Time of Delivery (SATOD) rates dropping by 50% since 2017, with the current rate at just 6.1% of pregnant women considered smokers at the time of delivery- resulting in 6,000 babies born smokefree since the beginning of the Make Smoking History programme.

School Street’s vision to make school travel safer for children
Active Travel Commissioner, Dame Sarah Storey, has joined forces with the Mayor of Greater Manchester to urge schools to make it safer for children to walk, wheel or cycle to school.
Dame Sarah and Mayor Andy Burnham will write to schools across the city-region inviting them to develop their own ‘School Street’ - to limit traffic during drop off and pick up time. The ambition to boost the existing number of School Streets from 30 to 100 in the next four years was set out by the Mayor in his most recent manifesto, with Active Travel Commissioner Dame Sarah Storey tasked with taking the commitment forward with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).
Earlier this year, TfGM committed to invest £1.3 million in the programme, following grant funding secured from Active Travel England and the Department for Transport.
Research shows just half of Greater Manchester’s residents feel it is safe for children to walk to school – and just 42% believe it is safe for children to cycle to school.
A letter from the Mayor and Commissioner will be sent to all schools in Greater Manchester via the 10 Local Authorities, inviting them to register their interest in launching their own scheme.

Thousands of Greater Manchester’s over 65s and carers urged to claim extra help this winter
Older people and carers across Greater Manchester are being encouraged to check if they are entitled to extra income to help them live well this winter.
This is part of Greater Manchester’s wider Live Well movement for community-led health and wellbeing. This brings together a wide range of public services and other partners to provide simple support and advice to help residents improve their physical and mental health and deal with the problems they may have.
The call comes as new figures from Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) reveal that nearly 40,000 local people are missing out on their share of over £368 million that goes unclaimed across the city region every year.
Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance and Carer’s Allowance all provide extra income for people that qualify, but thousands of Greater Manchester residents are not claiming despite being eligible.
Anyone can check eligibility using the Independent Age website or by calling their freephone helpline on 0800 319 6789.

Almost 40,000 people benefit from routine blood test that is saving lives
Routine HIV testing introduced at Salford Royal’s emergency department 12 months ago is helping to save lives by diagnosing a condition that would otherwise have gone undetected.
Since October 2023, HIV opt-out testing has taken place in the emergency department at Salford Royal Hospital, which is part of the Northern Care Alliance (NCA), for everyone aged 16 and over who has blood tests, unless they choose to opt out.
Dr Ashley Clews, emergency department consultant, said: “This programme has allowed staff to feel proud that they are being proactive in offering a valuable service to their patients and the wider population. This feeling has been bolstered by feedback of a number of new diagnoses of HIV and people re-engaging with care services.”
Plans are underway to introduce HIV opt out testing at the other emergency departments across the NCA in 2025.

Greater Manchester plans to partner with industry on a new study to deepen understanding of a weight loss medication
Health Innovation Manchester and the University of Manchester have announced that they are partnering with pharmaceutical company on a groundbreaking study aimed at deepening our understanding of weight loss medications.
The study will evaluate the real-world effectiveness of a medication called tirzepatide in weight loss, diabetes prevention, and prevention of obesity-related complications for adults with obesity. The evidence will contribute to the global evidence base on the long-term impacts of weight loss medicines and potentially inform the UK’s care pathway approach to the treatment of obesity.
Please note, this partnership is in its very early stages, and the study will take time to develop. It is still subject to approval, and no patients are currently being recruited.
We understand that many people in Greater Manchester may be interested in weight loss medication and eager to get involved. However, we have kindly asked patients that they do not contact their GP practice about this study, as practices will not have any information at this time.
Salford GP encourages women to attend breast screening appointments
Dr Suzie Carrier, a GP from Salford, has been working with the NHS to encourage more women to attend their breast screening appointments, with data showing that less than half of the women in Salford are taking up the offer to attend their check-up.
Screening invitations are sent out to women aged between 50 and 71 across Greater Manchester but only 48% of patients in Ordsall, where Suzie practises as a GP, had accepted their invitation over the past three years, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust said.
To increase awareness and improve access to screening, mobile breast screening units were among the measures being used by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust to tackle the issue.
Suzie, who is part of a team working to increase the uptake in Salford, spoke to BBC Radio Manchester’s Mike Sweeney about why it is so important for women to attend potentially lifesaving screenings. You can read more about the project on the BBC website.

Measles, Mump and Rubella (MMR) vaccination call
Don’t forget that pharmacies across Greater Manchester are offering the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to anyone aged five and over to make it quicker and easier for people to get vaccinated and get protected.
The free MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting against measles, as well as mumps and rubella. With cases of measles on the increase in Greater Manchester its more important than ever to get vaccinated. Most people will have had the MMR vaccination as young children but If you’re not sure if your or your children have been vaccinated then you can contact your GP practice. Parents and carers can also look in their child’s red book to find out. Most healthy adults will have developed some immunity to measles but can still receive two doses of the vaccine if they are not vaccinated.
If you or your child do need a measles vaccination then please go along to one of the participating pharmacies. No appointment is needed, but there may be a wait for the pharmacist to become available.
You can find out more about the MMR vaccination and participating pharmacies across Greater Manchester by visiting our website.
Supporting the region’s thriving social care community
Greater Manchester Social Care Academy have launched a new website where you can find virtual learning and a careers hub for anyone who is, or wants to be, a part of Greater Manchester’s thriving adult social care community.
The website uses career pathways and lived experience case studies to provide examples of how employees can advance in their adult social care roles or gain new roles in the sector. It also promotes training opportunities, offers guidance to international recruits and sponsors, and provides adult social care employers with information about how they can support their workforce.
To those responsible for offering careers advice, it will provide insight into adult social care careers and is a great starting point for those initial conversations.
It’s a fantastic free resource, so we would be grateful if you could use and promote widely, and if you have anything that would be helpful to host on the site, please get in touch with Priya on priya.vinothkumar@nhs.net
