• “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!”
