Fran
Hi, I’m Fran and I have worked in recovery services for almost 8 years, with 2 and a half years as the Primary Care Lead at our Manchester service. Prior to this, I held roles in admin, recovery support and within the leadership team in My Recovery Tameside.
My role consists of integrating our service into local primary care services such as GPs, pharmacies and dentists; integrating Change Grow Live Manchester into the NHS ten year plan and integrated care systems. Sound complicated? That’s because it is! However, I am always on hand to discuss any concerns, queries or incidents you may have regarding Change Grow Live and primary care services within the City of Manchester or even beyond!
I work closely with the Bringing Services Together team, to ensure the people who use our services get the most comprehensive package of care available. We know that even the most resilient people sometimes need a little extra support with other areas of their health and wellbeing. It may take a village to raise a child, but it can also take a network of professionals to support someone accessing treatment.
