Dr Vicky Pitts

Dr Vicky Pitts has been a GP at Broadmead for the past 8 years. Vicky has decided to leave the practice to seek a new position with the option of a potential partnership. Vicky will be leaving us in April 20, this is a sad loss for us but we wish her well for her future. We appreciate this can be unsettling for our patients so if you wish to chat to Vicky or Dixine (PM) about alternative GPs, then please do not hesitate to telephone to book an appointment. We are currently recruiting a replacement for Vicky.

Broadmead Medical Centre is an NHS GP practice, located in the centre of town (within Boots in Broadmead). Our opening hours are extended to give greater flexibility for our patients.

We are working to offer more appointments in the evenings and at weekends . Speak to a member of the practice team to find out more.

Registered Patients

If you live within our practice boundary (details available in reception), you may register with us here. We provide all general medical services and operate chronic disease clinics, manage child health and immunisations, family planning and sexual health, also clinics for smoking cessation, alcohol and weight management.

Named GP

In accordance with the current government and our NHS contract, all patients have been allocated a named accountable GP who will be responsible for your overall care.

If you wish to know which GP has been allocated to you, please ask reception at your next visit. You are still welcome to see any of our GPs and can ask for your named GP to be changed to reflect the GP you see most regularly if you wish.

Please do not telephone the practice for this information, our phone lines are very busy and primarily are for patients with urgent needs.

If you are 75 and over you will have already been allocated a GP and are entitled to an Over 75 health check.
