Dundonald Medical Centre

The practice dates from the earliest days of the NHS. Dr Desmond Wright began up in practice at 961 Upper Newtownards Road in the new NHS in 1947, after a stint as a ship's doctor. In 1948, Dr Leslie Goldring, after leaving the RAF, began in General Practice at Thornhill Park, and subsequently moved to 1 St John's Wood Park in 1951. They established a loose cooperative arrangement to cover holidays and occasional weekends.
