Manchester Local Care Organisation is a pioneering public sector organisation that provides your NHS community health services and adult social care services in Manchester. Part NHS and part local authority, we work as one team across traditional organisational boundaries to achieve this.

Around 4,000 staff that make up the city’s adult and children’s NHS community teams and adult social care teams are deployed to MLCO. They include district and community nurses, social workers, health visitors, therapists, care staff, support staff and many other health and care professionals.

These teams are now working together as part of one single organisation for the first time so that care is better coordinated around your needs. This includes the development of a range of new ways of integrated working in the community. There are plans to deploy further teams to MLCO over the coming years.

Formed on 1 April 2018, we are a public sector partnership organisation powered by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Greater Manchester Mental Health, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership and the Manchester Primary Care Partnership.
