Heart of Birmingham Teaching Primary Care Trust (HoBTPCT) is part of the National Health Service (NHS).  It’s our job to provide health services to the people who live in the centre of Birmingham, and help them lead healthier lives.

There are around 300,000 people living in the HoBTPCT patch, which covers some of the city’s poorest neighbourhoods as well as the wealthier shopping and business districts in the centre of Birmingham.  Click here to view the HoBTPCT area.

Seven out of ten of the people in our patch are Black or Asian and, as a PCT, we pride ourselves on being as diverse as the population we serve.  Our staff work here because they want to make a difference; they want to tackle social injustice, and they are committed to improving healthcare.

HoBTPCT is a ‘teaching’ PCT because we believe that learning is part of the job – and a good way of retaining good employees.  This is why we offer education and training to all our staff.
