The Cotswold & Vale Primary Care Trust was established on 1st April 2002. The PCT developed from the merger of Cotswold Primary Care Group; Stroud & Berkeley Primary Care Group; part of Severn NHS Trust; part of East Gloucestershire NHS Trust; and Gloucestershire Health Authority. The Trust covers an area of 627 square miles and is responsible for healthcare for a population of 192,000, of whom approximately 10,000 people are registered with Gloucestershire GPs, but live outside of the county boundary. There are 123 GPs in 33 Practices; 40 community pharmacists; 80 dentists and 80 optometrists working within the Trust area. The Trust is a relatively large employer, with over 1900 employed staff working largely within the Trust area. The Trust is responsible for assessing the health needs of the local population and securing appropriate primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare to meet their needs. The Trust also provides some shared and hosted services on behalf of the Gloucestershire Health Community. These are Children's Services; Maternity Services; Sexual Health and HIV Services; Dentistry; Hotel Services; and the Health Community Implementation Team for Information for Health.
