Practice History

The practice was established in the late 1870's in Trinity Place, Swansea by Dr Anderson of Aberdeen. He practiced there until 1899 before selling the premises to Dr Marks.

In 1899 Dr Anderson built the old practice in Alexandra Road. Dr George Fraser joined Dr Anderson after the First World War and they practiced in partnership before taking in Dr Gaily, who subsequently died in the Second World War.

Dr A Hughes was made a partner in 1947 and Dr Murray Thompson, already an assistant, became a partner around the same time. Dr A Law joined in 1955 with Dr M G Evans joining the practice in 1967.

In the 1970's the practice moved to Orchard St clinic some 400 yards form the Alexandra Rd site. This clinic is now functioning as Central Clinic, part of Swansea NHS Trust, providing services such as family planning and chiropody.

Dr B S Raichoudhury joined the practice in 1979, soon to be followed by Dr L B Morgan in 1980, with Dr M Lewis arriving in 1988. In 1993 the practice moved to its current home in the Kingsway, some 300yds from Orchard St. The new surgery premises were purpose built on the ground floor of one of the few buildings left in central Swansea to survive the blitz of 1942.

The surgery has won several awards for its internal design with 2 treatment rooms, spacious conference room and 9 consulting rooms amongst its features. An exercise and physiotherapy centre was added to the practice in 1996 and can be found on the 2nd floor of the building.

Dr R J Mortimer joined the practice in 1993, having previously been a GP in Gorseinon, near Swansea. Dr C J Bevan joined in 1996 and Dr M J Sullivan in 1999 both of whom were former trainees of the practice. Subsequently, both Dr S Obaid & Dr R Thomas joined the partnership in 2000.
