Della Powell, practice manager at Llanfair Surgery, said: “We are delighted.

“To win both Practice of the Year along with the Outstanding Achievement award was quite something. It is a pleasure to be part of our community and want to thank every one who supports us.

Everyone at the awards makes a difference to the communities they serve. Being a part of the awards was both humbling and encouraging and we have nothing but gratitude.”
