Background to our PCT area

The Primary Care Trust covers Cheltenham borough, Tewkesbury town, Prestbury, Winchcombe and Bishops Cleeve. We bring together 13 GP practices serving residents in Cheltenham, Leckhampton and Charlton Kings with 3 practices serving residents across Prestbury, Bishops Cleeve and Winchcombe and 3 further practices serving residents living in and around Tewkesbury town.

The main centres of population (total population of the PCT area- 163,000) are focused around Cheltenham and Tewkesbury town.

The PCT area is broadly consistent with the local social services teams and for the Education and Police divisions.
