Within the Primary Care team, a small group come together to work with 105 general medical practices and 20 Primary Care Networks across five locality areas.  As a Primary Care Commissioning Manager you will be working in partnership with others and managing a work programme to ensure the delivery of effective general medical services for our population.

The role is a key part of a team responsible for commissioning all elements of primary medical care contracts to meet the needs of the local area population, working towards national standards and targets, paying attention to health inequalities, and applying Core20plus5 principles.

Health and care services in Norfolk and Waveney are working closely together to further improve services and provide more joined-up care for local people. In Norfolk and Waveney, we have already achieved a lot by working in partnership to improve health and care outcomes. These changes have been made possible by different organisations – NHS hospitals, GPs, mental health and community health services, local councils, care homes and social workers, voluntary and community organisations and others – joining forces to agree and plan for local people’s needs.

Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System (ICS) includes a statutory Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), and an Integrated Care Board (ICB) called NHS Norfolk and Waveney. This partnership and organisation dedicated to making sure that organisations work together for the benefit of our residents, staff and communities is an important step change, helping to create positive differences to local people and joining up health and social care. This is the culmination of many years of effort to build partnership working across the NHS, local authorities, the third sector and patient groups.
