With the new Integrated Care System, changes to digital health and virtual ward development, there is a need for evidence based solutions to meet dynamic health care needs.

The Utilisation Management Unit supports commissioners and providers to utilise health data and insight, to improve health and social care provision within Greater Manchester and beyond.

The team comprises experienced NHS clinicians and analysts that combine expertise in data analytics alongside extensive front-line clinical insight.
