The organisation is unique for its pioneer role in combining hospital services with community healthcare and adult social care, providing a seamless experience for residents in Tameside and Glossop.
Who We Are
Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care operates as a publicly funded NHS Foundation Trust. They function as a strategic anchor institution within the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System. The Trust's model is built on the "Integrated Care" philosophy, where the hospital and community teams work as one to ensure patients receive the right care in the most appropriate setting.
The organisation is headquartered at Tameside General Hospital and is managed by a Board of Directors. Their primary goal is to improve the health of the local population by focusing on prevention, early intervention, and reducing the time patients spend in the hospital through advanced discharge planning.
With thousands of employees, the Trust provides services to a diverse population, delivering both acute clinical care and long-term community support through a unified workforce.

Approach & Values
Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care is driven by a commitment to being everyone matters. Their approach is strictly person-centred, focusing on the "whole person" rather than just a medical condition. They value collaboration, working as a single "Integrated Care Organisation" (ICO) with local councils to remove the traditional barriers between health and social care.
