Our plans for a new flagship NHS Medicines Manufacturing Centre (MMC) to serve patients across the North East and North Cumbria have recently been approved.

The new regional facility, based in Seaton Delaval, will produce large volumes of chemotherapy treatment, as well as other ‘ready to administer’ injectable medicines.

On the latest episode of Providers Podcast we're joined by the MMCs Head of Production Kyle Winn and Head of Quality Laura Davies. They describe in detail what will take place in the MMC and how it will benefit patients, staff and the region as a whole.

On our first episode of the Providers Podcast we're joined by Matt Brown who is the Managing Director of the North East and North Cumbria Provider Collaborative.

Matt talks us through what the Provider Collaborative is, how the system works within the NHS and some of the projects that are currently taking place to help improve patient care across the region.

He also discusses how the Provider Collaborative has already helped address some of the challenges the NHS faces and how his visit to share best practice in Northern Ireland went.
