Mastercall were delighted to welcome Edna Robinson & Franky Proctor from the Alternative Provider Federation (APF) to our HQ in Hazel Grove, Stockport.
We have been a member of the Alternative Provider Federation since October 2022 so it was great to meet up in person.
The APF is a place-based partnership of social enterprise and charitable organisations operating across the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System.
As a new member we look forward to the development of the APF and the opportunities our collaboration will present in the future!
Our Director of Operations, Strategy and Transformation, Tim Davison said:
‘As alternative providers in the VCSFE sector we believe it is important to ensure all NHS expenditure is used to realise patient benefit. We are here to ensure that the NHS has provider support options that uphold the ethos of the NHS by enabling community and social value to ensure our communities thrive. With opportunities to commission for health care provision in a deregulated manner, we have come together to ensure that economy is on offer to limit the need for privatisation and to prevent under representation of local voices in Integrated Care System matters. We are together to uphold the value of integration, partnership, best practice and appropriate representation to keep the patient in focus whilst the pound comes under pressure.’
