Private GP Appointments

Flexible appointments when you need them, with a doctor of your choosing.

Whether you need quick, convenient healthcare that fits around your busy schedule or require an expert second opinion, rest assured that our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care comes without hidden fees.

Infections
Whether you are unwell with a bacterial urine infection, skin infection, chest infection or self-limiting viral advice, Vale GP is here to assess, advise and treat as necessary.

Chronic disease management
We offer chronic disease management for long-term conditions like Diabetes, Asthma, Hypertension, COPD, Heart disease and other chronic conditions which require regular monitoring. Additionally, our GPs are on hand to assist with acute exacerbations, offering timely and effective interventions to address immediate health concerns. Our expertise extends to mental health, gynaecological problems, paediatrics, men’s health, and orthopaedic conditions.

Home Visits
When illness strikes, leaving your home to visit the clinic can be a challenge. At Vale GP, we provide exceptional care through our home visit service, ensuring you and your family receive the care you need in the comfort of your own home. Our private home visit service offers the flexibility of choosing a convenient time for a GP to visit your home or office. We can conduct a comprehensive medical assessment and provide prescriptions, all while you focus on your recovery and well-being.

Pain Management
Here at Vale Wellness we recognise the impact of pain on your daily life, emotional well-being, and overall health. Musculoskeletal pain can range from acute to chronic, affecting muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. It may be localised or more widespread, often seen in conditions like tendonitis and arthritis. Numerous factors, from past injuries to autoimmune reactions, can trigger musculoskeletal pain, making it vital to consult with a GP or our in-house Physiotherapy team to effectively manage your symptoms. Our assessment and review services are tailored to identify the source of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan, ensuring that even minor discomfort receives the attention it deserves.

Lifestyle
If you need guidance and support for living a healthier lifestyle, we can assist and provide services like blood test assessments, continuous glucose monitoring, and advice on maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.

We understand the unique challenges that come with menopause, and we are here to provide compassionate care and support throughout this transformative phase of life. 

The support we offer is designed to help you better understand the changes your body is going through and to help you make the right decisions and lifestyle support when it comes to managing it.

We believe in personalised care that considers not only the physical aspects but also your emotional well-being.

Your choice; how it suits you, when it suits you. Contraception and sexual health are sensitive but important components of daily life, so talking to the right person is key.

We offer expert advice from professionals who are discrete and responsive to your needs, including specialist contraceptive services and full sexual health screening.

Our doctors have had extensive experience working with pregnancy aftercare in the hospital and primary care setting.

This appointment includes a relaxed discussion with Mum to address any concerns and an appropriate examination. We put you in control of your support, offering  the freedom to select a date and time that aligns with your busy schedule as a new parent.

Expert post-natal dietetic and physiotherapy services are also available, to ensure you are at your best to look after your new arrival.

Our health check is designed to evaluate your baby’s growth, development, and well-being, enabling early intervention when necessary and offering reassurance where needed.

This appointment is a safe space, where we encourage you to raise any concerns regarding feeding, sleeping, infant care, or vaccinations.

Private Sick Notes
Illness can not only cause stress – it can significantly affect your well-being when it necessitates time off work. While short absences typically allow for self-certification for up to seven days, longer-term conditions may require a private medical certificate. Some employers insist on medical certification for absences of less than 7 days, we can facilitate this. At Vale Wellbeing, we aim to alleviate this burden by providing a thorough assessment and issuing private sick certificates, allowing you to prioritise your recovery without added concern.

Acute & Repeat Private Prescriptions
We pride ourselves on ensuring prompt and convenient access to essential medications. Following a comprehensive consultation, be it in person, over the phone, or at home, we facilitate the arrangement of prescriptions. For our regular patients, we often offer repeat prescriptions for various medications. These can be conveniently sent to your selected pharmacy, Cowbridge Pharmacy, or delivered to a location of your choice, including your home or workplace. Please be aware that we do not prescribe or supply controlled drugs, and all prescriptions are at the discretion of our GP.

Private referrals
With decades of experience among our general practitioners, we are well-positioned to provide advice and contact specialists for you. We’ve built a network of excellent specialists within Cardiff, the UK and beyond, and if we don’t know who is best for you, we will find out.

Blood Tests
We’re here to empower you with a deep understanding of your physical well-being, supporting you in making informed choices about your health and lifestyle through thorough blood tests. Every test is delivered by a qualified healthcare professional who will take your sample and support you during and beyond your appointment. We aim to put you in control, helping you assess and interpret your health metrics and their significance for your overall well-being. Take that first step – schedule your appointment today.

Urine Tests
Urine testing serves a vital role in aiding your doctor’s understanding of your health, enabling accurate diagnoses and tailored care. Urine testing is applicable in various situations, including pregnancy, kidney disease, chlamydia screening, cardiovascular disease and diabetes assessments. Urine sampling is especially important for patients with recurrent infections or an infection resistant to treatment.

ECG
An ECG not only records your heart’s electrical activity but can also identify irregular heart rhythms, signal abnormalities, or assess palpitations. It is a valuable tool for assessing potential heart disease or detecting past cardiac damage. All ECGs are reviewed by a consultant cardiologist. Please note that a referral letter from a consultant or GP is necessary before booking any diagnostic investigation.

Imaging (CT, MRI, Ultrasound)
Our Diagnostic Imaging team ensures rapid access to patients aged 18 and above. Our dedicated clinical professionals, working alongside our seasoned Radiologists and Radiographers, will expertly guide you through your imaging experience, including general X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, DEXA scans, mammograms  and ultrasounds.
