We are proud to serve 20,000 patients across Eccles, Little Hulton, Charlestown and Lower Kersal. Key Highlights This year has been a productive one for our GP practice, with continued growth across all three of our sites. We have continued to consistently deliver high-quality, patient-centered care, while effectively managing the growing complexities within the general practice landscape. We have seen a significant increase in performance, particularly in patient care and service efficiency, thanks to the dedication of our team and ongoing improvements to our processes. Workforce development has been a key priority, ensuring that both clinical and non-clinical teams are equipped with the necessary skills and resources to deliver holistic, integrated care. Our systems and processes are now well established, enabling better care coordination and positive patient experiences. We have also been building upon the community work we’ve already done, collaborating with local charities to raise awareness of the importance of screening and vaccination. This initiative aims to increase uptake in both areas, ensuring better health outcomes for our patients. Patient engagement remains central to our practice’s approach. Through education and self-management initiatives, we have empowered patients to take a more active role in their health, leading to improved engagement and better health outcomes. Looking ahead, our goal for the next year is to build on this momentum by enhancing patient access, further reducing waiting times, and expanding our digital services to offer more convenient healthcare solutions for our community.

- Inclusion Service | Salford Primary Care Together
The Inclusion Service provides care for vulnerable people in Salford – those experiencing homelessness and complex life challenges. Inclusion Service SPCT Inclusion Service provides care for some of the most vulnerable people in Salford – those experiencing homelessness and complex life challenges. The Inclusion Service is about more than healthcare – it is about giving people a safe place to breathe, to heal, and to rebuild their lives. Our work is about more than healthcare; it is about trust, compassion, and meeting people where they are, whether that’s on the street, in a day centre, or over a phone call. Our team was honoured with the Greater Manchester “Team of the Year 2024” Award, a recognition of the difference we are making every day. Impact in Numbers The past year: We registered 227 new patients and successfully transitioned 259 patients into mainstream GP services – a significant milestone in helping people move towards stability and independence. 3,537 appointments were delivered, more than ever before. Our DNA (Did Not Attend) rate was just 11.8%, well below the national benchmark and a reflection of the trust we have built. Every new patient received full screening for mental health, and alcohol and drug use. We ensured that 100% of patients were connected to the right onward support. 100 flu vaccines were administered at Loaves and Fishes, benefitting both registered and unregistered patients. Healthy Lungs Project This year we also continued our vital role in the Healthy Lung Project, enabling patients who might otherwise struggle to access respiratory testing to receive both diagnosis and treatment. One patient had been living with daily breathlessness, severely restricting her life. Through the project, she received treatment, stopped smoking, and reported a dramatic improvement in her mobility. With her health stabilised, she went on to secure her own tenancy after nearly 20 years of unstable housing – a powerful reminder of how accessible healthcare can transform lives. Collaboration Collaboration remains at the heart of the Inclusion Service. Weekly multidisciplinary team meetings bring together housing teams, mental health workers, drug and alcohol services, safeguarding leads, and voluntary sector partners to ensure that no patient falls through the cracks. Our key partnerships this year included work with Salford Council Rough Sleeping Team, including early morning outreach walkabouts, strengthened links with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust, and support delivered within local hostels and the Women’s Centre. We also hosted student placements for GP trainees, nurses, and paramedics, equipping the next generation of healthcare professionals with the skills and understanding needed in inclusion health. Our strengths lie in building trust with people who have experienced trauma, offering accessible and flexible care in safe, non-judgemental spaces, and working with a skilled and passionate team that consistently goes the extra mile. Real collaboration across agencies, outstanding patient satisfaction, and recognition from professional colleagues reinforce the impact of our approach. Testimonials Patients have been clear about the value of our service, describing us as “the best doctor’s practice I’ve had in my life,” “supportive and welcoming,” and an “exemplary service.” Partners echoed this appreciation, describing the service as “vital, responsive, and collaborative” emphasising that our “holistic approach is integral to safeguarding.” These voices highlight the unique role the Inclusion Service plays in providing compassionate care and professional collaboration. Looking Ahead We plan to scale up the Inclusion Service model across the region to tackle health inequalities more widely. We will continue to share our expertise through training, education, and patient stories, while also developing tailored programmes, building on successes like the Healthy Lung Project to support other vulnerable groups.

- EPIC24 | Salford Primary Care Together
EPiC 24 integrates a wide range of services, coordinated through a digital hub that enables real-time monitoring and advanced data reporting. EPiC 24 The EPiC 24 service continues to evolve integrated primary urgent care services via a digital clinical hub, allowing us to ensure that patients in Salford can access the care they need, when they need it and in the most appropriate setting. The EPiC 24 Model in Practice EPiC 24 integrates a wide range of services, coordinated through a digital hub that enables real-time monitoring and advanced data reporting. This ensures patients are directed to the most appropriate care setting quickly and safely, supporting efficiency and high-quality outcomes. GP Out of Hours: Taking referrals from NHS111 from 6:30pm until 8:00am on weekdays, and all day at weekends. Primary Care Streaming: Screening ambulatory patients attending ED and directing them to the most appropriate pathway. Locality Clinical Assessment Service (LCAS): Reviewing patients who have contacted NHS111 and would otherwise be advised to attend ED within one hour. Surge Capacity / Locality Response: Including services such as COVID hot clinics, Acute Respiratory Hubs, and flexing capacity during periods of system pressure. Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC): Accredited by NHS England following a site inspection, with strong feedback on safety, education, governance, and pathway integration. The innovative care pathways developed within EPiC 24 are centred on clinical priority rather than access point, enabling robust patient education and empowering patients to access care appropriately. A Coordinated, Single Point of Access At its core, EPiC 24 is built on an integrated urgent care model that delivers coordinated care across Salford. This design allows the service to operate as a Single Point of Access (SPoA) for the locality. Case-hold patients, ensuring continuity and proactive management across episodes of care. Make direct referrals and bookings into the most appropriate services and pathways. Provide both face-to-face and virtual consultations, offering flexibility and timely access for patients. This coordinated approach not only streamlines patient journeys but also ensures that most patients presenting at the Emergency Department (ED) - whether via ambulance or self-presentation - receive an element of clinical validation before entering the acute system. System-Wide Collaboration A key focus this year has been on strengthening integrated care coordination. We have worked more closely than ever with the acute hospital site, aligning services and pathways to better meet the needs of Salford’s population. At the regional and national level, SPCT has continued to play an active role: As a member of the Greater Manchester Primary Urgent Care Alliance (GMUPCA), we share learning and best practice with other urgent care providers, collectively shaping urgent care delivery across the region. As a delivery partner for the Covid Medicine Delivery Unit (CMDU), we have supported resilience and responsiveness across the system. As an active member of Urgent Health UK, we contribute to national discussions on the future of urgent care, bringing valuable insights back into our local model. Achievements this Year National Recognition: Successfully secured our contract for EPiC 24 through a highly competitive national procurement process. Continuous Improvement: Implemented changes based on procurement feedback, ensuring ongoing quality, governance, and service development. Award Recognition: Shortlisted for three prestigious awards and highly commended for innovation in same-day urgent care, reflecting the creativity and dedication of our team. Knowledge Sharing: Presented at both regional and national events, while actively learning from others to drive service development. Winter Surge Response: Delivered 7,316 additional appointments over a seven-day period, ensuring same-day access for patients during peak demand. Impact in Numbers 65,000+ patient contacts across all services. GP Out of Hours: Consistently achieved above the 94% target for call-backs, face-to-face appointments, and home visits for urgent and routine cases. LCAS: Over 80% of patients avoided ED attendance; less than 25% required ED review. UTC: 23,528 patients seen — 65% discharged home, 19% referred to a specialty, only 3.5% advised to see their GP for an urgent same-day appointment Looking Ahead As we move forward, our priority remains to enhance accessibility, integration, and quality of urgent care in Salford. By acting as a true SPoA for the locality, strengthening partnerships with acute and community providers, and contributing to regional and national urgent care transformation, we are confident that EPiC 24 will continue to deliver a gold standard model of integrated urgent care.
