Firdale Medical Centre is a member of Northwich
Primary Care Network. We currently care for over 11,000 patients and also
mentor and support one of the local nursing homes.
The practice is led by three GP partners and supported by
five salaried doctors. Our wider clinical team includes two practice nurses, a
