"For the past 2 decades Dr Mohammed has relentlessly supported GPs and their practices across HMR borough. From the early days when General Practice was supported by FHSA to the subsequent move to Primary Care Groups, Primary Care Trusts and now ICBs he has represented the profession and ensured that General Practice had a voice and that appropriate funding and support from commissioning was forthcoming. He has undertaken various roles and currently supports the General Medical Council in managing complaints, continues in his role as an appraiser, supports the profession as vice chair of Rochdale and Bury Local Medical Committee, Medical Director of Rochdale Health Alliance and Clinical Director for Heywood PCN which has consistently for many years performed well in contract and service delivery across the borough. For the past 5 years he has represented the PCNs on the Local Care Organisation board and the Local Care Executive only recently having retired from those roles. His leadership at practice level is reflected in his significant increase in patient list size from 3000 when he joined 15years ago to the largest list size now in the borough at over 11500. Alongside these roles he continues to undertaking his support as a trainer for junior doctors.

Over the past decade he has led, supported and guided the profession in an admirable way and has been a shinning beacon to the young GPs of of today on how to deliver and support leadership within the borough."
