Talented new recruits to lead the local NHS: The health and wellbeing of local people is in safe hands thanks to several talented new recruits that have joined the ranks of Oldham's future health leaders.
Local man's life was saved through health check: An Oldham man who had a heart bypass operation following problems being picked up by a NHS Health Check is urging people aged between 40 and 74 to ask for one.
Simple test will help prevent heart failure patients needing emergency care: A new community-based heart failure service is being developed to help people get access to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Deadlines introduced for new NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments during 2004 to 2012
The deadlines apply to previously un-assessed periods of care from April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2012. Individuals should contact NHS Oldham's personalised care team on 0161 622 6525 for further information, visit www.nhs.uk or click here for further details.
We are the local leader of the NHS in Oldham and are responsible for identifying what services patients need now and in the future. We are working closely with NHS Oldham Clinical Commissioning Group in preparation for it taking over responsibility for health services in April 2013, when PCTs across the country close down.
NHS Oldham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is made up of every family doctor in Oldham and is led by a Governing Body that also includes family doctors and other health professionals.
From April 2013 the CCG will be the organisation responsible for deciding how around £300m of taxpayers’ money is spent on Oldham people.
