The service supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. The service supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity. The practice worked with the local councils Population Health group and public health consultants and would trial new ideas and ways of working to test effectiveness before being rolled out throughout the rest of the practices in the local area.
 

The service routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured outcomes were positive, consistent and met the expectations of people themselves.
The service has improved its results in relation to several cancer screening programmes, including screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer. For example, unverified data from Bury Integrated Care Board shows that cervical cancer screening rates for women aged 25-49 went from being below 70% in August 2025 to 77% in March 2026, taking it from below to above the Greater Manchester average.

Clinicians carried out searches to identify vulnerable patients to ensure they were seen in spring to assess then and put in place early plans to make sure they are better controlled when it came to winter and the risks associated with it.
