Staff Development
The practice participates in the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board Practice Development Programme. We will sometimes be closed for part of an afternoon to allow our practice team some protected time for important educational and developmental projects. Medical cover for urgent problems is provided via the Wrexham GP co-operative. Your telephone call will be transferred automatically to the co-op on these occasions.
The Patient's Trust
The Patient's Trust seeks to promote good health in all patients registered with the practice. Their fundraising efforts have enabled the practice to purchase medical equipment to help our patients.
