Ath Trasna Medical Centre
In 1989, Dr Bertie Daly, and Dr Zelie Gaffney Daly saw a need for a local GP service.
Their original premises was ready in 1991, and after further sustained effort, the Newmarket primary care centre was built. This space includes a variety of healthcare facilities, and is ever expanding to provide the best care for the community needs.
They are proud of Newmarket - so much so they display the work of talented artists and photographers in their building. This love for the area ties into the importance of retaining the population. They acknowledge the area has a large elderly population and they prioritise quality of life.
A point of pride for all 16 employees is the accompaniment of generations of families through their health journey.
It is in this they see the importance of sustaining the rural GP service and ensuring what they offer is appropriate for the area.
So far, they’ve grown consistently in tandem with the area’s requirements, and just this year opened their sensory garden, Áit Aoibheann for all in the locality. Their dedication during the peak of the COVID Pandemic was to deliver services in a way that ensured the community felt safe and supported.
Their extensive services list covers everything from consultation and blood tests to minor surgery and a mother and baby scheme, all carried out with modern equipment.
All on one campus, there are General Practice Services with HSE Mental Health Team, Public Health Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Community Services, a Private Physiotherapy Service, Audiology, Ophthalmology, and further outreach services.

“The Primary Care Centre opened its doors during the peak of the COVID epidemic, in 2020, and has endured, and survived, a lot of challenges. There are further developments in 2024 of a Therapeutic Gym and further medical consultation facilities. Every member of our team is honoured, and humbled, to have the acknowledgement, and the recognition of our endeavours, which this nomination brings.”
