"NHS general practice and clinical research across West Kirby and Thingwall on the Wirral."
About Links Medical
Links Medical is an NHS general practice formed in November 2026 by the merger of Marine Lake Medical Practice and West Wirral Group Practice, known locally as The Warrens. It provides primary care across the existing West Kirby and Thingwall sites on the Wirral, bringing their clinical and support teams together.
The Marine Lake site hosts the NIHR Cheshire and Merseyside Commercial Research Delivery Centre for primary care. Its network spans nine local authority areas and approximately 2.5 million people, with research partners in Sandbach, Nantwich and central Liverpool. This connects routine general practice with clinical research delivered through experienced research teams and dedicated facilities.
One practice across two sites
The merger retains existing staff and keeps both sites in use. Teams are bringing their resources together across the combined practice, including shared telephone support and medicines-management colleagues available at both locations.
Research partnerships
The commercial research centre links experienced hub practices with a wider network of participating sites. Its infrastructure includes dedicated research facilities and access to specialist equipment, with links to NIHR clinical research facilities and hospital research services when studies need them.
