Small Team, Big Impact: The GM Care Record Team’s Collaborative Approach to System-Wide Change

The GM Care Record’s success is driven by a small, exceptional cross-functional digital team spanning Health Innovation Manchester, NHS Greater Manchester, and Graphnet, with patient and public involvement. Their collaboration has delivered Greater Manchester’s most ambitious digital transformation, connecting data across more than 500 organisations for 3 million residents, which is now delivering more than 28,000 active users viewing more than 460,000 patient records every month. Innovations such as dynamic care planning and expanded community pharmacy access are resulting in measurable improvements in care, cost savings, and a scalable model for national replication.
