• “I also wanted to say thanks again for a
great rotation. All the staff on A&E have
been really helpful and we’ve had
excellent planned and unplanned
teaching…I’m definitely going to
recommend that other students come to
Wrexham, it is by far the best organised
and most useful hospital I’ve been to!”
