Dr Tracey Vell MBE

Medical Director

Working within the NHS for 30 years and 27 of those years being in General Practice, my background includes political, digital, business and educational leadership.

I have previously persevered to bring Primary Care Providers to the GM Health and Social care (GMH&SC) Devolution Programme and worked as Executive Medical Director for Primary Care within the GMH&SC Partnership for several years.

I have connected front line primary care providers to the Integrated Care System Strategy and promoted GP excellence by developing a peer-based Quality Improvement and Leadership Development Academy.

Having recently taken on the role as Medical Director for Health Innovation Manchester, this will help to facilitate the spread of innovation across health and care settings within Manchester.

I am passionate about the need for front line providers to direct strategy,support, advise and work amongst GPs with an approach that tackles wider determinants of health.

I was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours in 2018 for my work.
