Our History

The practice was established over 100 years ago in the early 1900's in central Swindon. The location of the practice changed several times over the years and by 1950 was at 39 Regent circus. This was a large town house and the gp,s working there at this time were Dr Quigley, Dr O' Connell & Dr O'Grady. The Practice expanded & moved to Empire house on Groundwell Road which was named after the Empire theatre that had previously occupied the same site. While there Dr Dury, Dr Alder, Dr Murthy & Dr Nath joined the practice after the retirement of the previous gp's. A branch surgery was opened in Moredon in 1948 which was initially open for only one morning per week. As the population of Moredon grew a larger purose built surgery was established at 33-35 Moredon Road which was used from the 1970's. It was extended over the years to reach its final size. In 1992 the main practice moved to two converted historic stone cottages next to Queens Park on Drove Road. While here Dr Griffin, Dr Davies, Dr Mills, Dr Mack, Dr Robinson & Dr Stanton (Dr Peirce) joined the practice to replace retiring gp's.

As the twenty first century dawned and workload increased it became apparent that the surgeries at Queens Park & 33-35 Moredon Road were no longer adequate to deliver high quality primary care. A search for a new location to build one large medical practice rather than have 2 small ones began. A site midway between the 2 surgeries was the ideal but no suitable development site could be found over a number of years. A site on Moredon Road became available with the relocation of part of Herod Parkway school and part of the old school playing field was bought from Swindon Council. A new combined medical practice was built on this site which was opened in September 2009 and is our persent home.

The new Moredon Medical Centre has 9 consulting/ treatment rooms on the ground floor, 9 consulting rooms plus a large health education room on the first floor and a large administration area plus a private chiropractic suite on the second floor.
