About Westbury-on-Trym Primary Care Centre

Practice History
The practice was founded in the 1930s in a large doctor's house on Falcondale Road. The practice gradually expanded and moved to 60 Falcondale Road in 1976 and, with further growth, moved to the present location at the rear of the public car park in the centre of Westbury on Trym, in 2008. We are a longstanding GP training practice.
Practice area and population
We currently have nearly 12,000 regular patients and are growing. The practice serves a patient population with a varied range of ages and backgrounds. There are many elderly people's homes and nursing homes, and 20% of the patient population is over 65 years old (Avon average is 15%). The housing is mainly 1930s with smaller areas of Victorian and council housing.
