A LOWER Walton clinic has been handed top awards for its work.

Alba Chiropractic Clinic, on Chester Road, has picked up the Clinical Management Quality Mark (CMQM) as well as the Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM) by The College of Chiropractors, a Royal Chartered professional body.

The CMQM recognises excellence in a range of areas including patient satisfaction, risk management and operational policy while PPQM recognises excellence in meeting patient expectations. The clinic is the only one in the north west to hold both.
