Our history

Victoria Practice is the oldest established GP practice in Aldershot - In 1902 Dr Coghlan and Dr Cohen leased premises in Victoria Road for £50 per year.

In 1973 the practice moved to Aldershot Health Centre in Wellington Avenue which was, at that time, a modern centre purpose-built for health services, and in which we remained for 35 years. Throughout this time the building has remained, somewhat run-down in places and filled to capacity, but is still standing whilst the redevelopment of Aldershot continues to decide its fate.

Over the years several doctors have been partners but have now retired or moved on: Dr Avi Chadha , Dr Mukul Mehta, Dr Tony Davis, Dr Rhona Paterson, Dr Gurjit Barn, Dr Katie Law

The current partnership consists of:

We also have had assistant doctors with the practice for periods of time and for many years had trainee doctors also based with us.

As for the staff, some of them have been with us throughout all these changes. The atmosphere is such that staff tend to want to stay and some work on into their “retirement” years!

In August 2008 we finally moved to our long awaited new health centre, The Aldershot Centre for Health on Hospital Hill. It has taken us a while to settle in and there have certainly been some teething problems but we hope to continue running an effective, efficient and friendly practice for many more years to come.
