We are so incredibly proud of becoming a member of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter. For over the past 25 years our incredible team have helped support over 1.3 million people across the North West of England with a mission to minimise the impact of the world’s biggest health killer - cardiovascular disease. At the very heart of our success and our future is our focus on research, innovation and technology but most importantly our people. As we enter a new era in Cardiovascular Health and Prevention our ever-growing teams are even more important to us as we work towards achieving our goal.

Tomorrow Cardiovascular Services - CEO, David Willis

The key to providing exceptional medical care lies in having the best team to deliver it. As an organisation, it is important to us to support and care for our team through both good times and challenging ones, creating a practice where people enjoy working. Our work is not always easy, as we encounter individuals with complex, complicated lives, often seeing them in times of distress as well as joy. Rewarding our team fairly within our financial constraints and offering the security and employment benefits that attract and retain them is crucial to our success and the health outcomes of our patients. We are delighted to be welcomed into the GM Good Employer family.
