Important information about Stockport LPC

 

Greater Manchester LPC (“GMLPC”) will be formed from the merger of Ashton Leigh & Wigan LPC, Bury & Rochdale LPC, Oldham, Tameside & Glossop LPC, Manchester LPC, Salford & Trafford LPC and Stockport LPC. Community Pharmacy Greater Manchester will also be incorporated into GMLPC.

 

The seven organisations are combining to make best use of LPC resources and deliver improved support to pharmacy contractors across the region.  The new LPC will be ideally structured to work with the new health and social structures proposed in Greater Manchester, whilst strengthening local relationships with contractors and commissioners.

 

Greater Manchester LPC was formally constituted on 1 October 2016 and all the bodies that were merging into the GMLPC were dissolved on 1 October 2016.
