About us
Trinity Medical Centre originated as Almshouse Surgery and Grove Surgery. Both surgeries have always been busy town centre practices starting with a just few hundred patients to now becoming one of the largest practices in Wakefield.
We are a group practice meaning that all our clinicians work across both sites and they all have access to the same patients records and information meaning patients can chose between both sites as well as a range of familiar faces for consultations.
The practice recently became an Accredited Training Practice with Leeds University and with our accredited GP Trainers we can have GP Registrars and FY2 Trainee GPs as well as numerous medical students.
The practice currently has its largest staffing levels to date with over 80 members of staff.
