Private GP Cardiff & South Wales.

Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available at both our Penarth and Cowbridge clinics. Most patients are seen within 24–48 hours. You can book online instantly and choose your preferred slot.

A new-patient face-to-face GP consultation costs £105 for 20 minutes. Follow-up appointments are £95. A 15-minute virtual appointment is £95. A 40-minute double appointment is £180.

Our GP Gold Membership is £99 per month for unlimited appointments — usually better value if you see a GP twice a month or more.

Yes. Private prescriptions and sick (fit) notes are included at no additional charge during your consultation. We can also issue referral letters for specialists or further investigations.

Note: private prescriptions are dispensed at private pharmacies (Boots, LloydsPharmacy etc.) and you pay the medication cost. Most UK employers accept private fit notes — check with your HR if you're unsure.

Yes. Virtual GP appointments are available for £95 (15 minutes) and conducted via secure video link. Ideal for follow-ups, prescription renewals, advice, and conditions that don't require a physical examination.

If during the call we identify something that needs an examination, we can convert you to an in-person appointment without you paying twice.

Our flagship clinic is at 13 Washington Buildings, Stanwell Road, Penarth, CF64 2AD — 10 minutes from Cardiff city centre.

We also have a satellite clinic at Beauty Within, 10 High Street, Cowbridge, CF71 7AG.

Both clinics serve patients from across Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Bridgend, Barry, Llantwit Major and beyond.

No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by phone. You don't need to be registered with us first, you don't need to deregister from your NHS GP, and you don't need a referral from anyone.

£99 per month for unlimited GP appointments — perfect for families, professionals, or anyone who wants ongoing private GP access without per-appointment fees.

Includes unlimited in-person and virtual appointments, priority booking, continuity of care (see the same GP where possible), and all the usual extras (prescriptions, sick notes, referrals). Cancel any time with 30 days' notice.

Our private GPs see the full range of conditions an NHS GP would: minor illnesses (coughs, infections, skin conditions), chronic disease management (blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid), mental health, women's and men's health, sexual health, travel advice, menopause, weight loss, occupational medicals, second opinions and more.

For anything urgent or emergency, please call 999 or attend A&E.

Yes. We offer dedicated weight-loss consultations (£150) for patients who may benefit from prescription weight-loss injections or medication. Follow-up appointments are £100.

Suitable patients are assessed against current clinical eligibility criteria (BMI thresholds, health history, contraindications). Not everyone is suitable, and we'll tell you honestly if you're not.

GP consultations are generally self-pay rather than insurance-billed. We accept Bupa, AXA, WPA and Vitality for many of our specialist services (ultrasound, injections, surgery). For specific insurance queries, please contact us.

This is where Acorn is different from most private GP services. We have ultrasound, MRI, blood tests, ECG, REMS bone scans, and consultant surgeons all on site or via direct referral. If your GP appointment suggests further investigation, we can often arrange it the same visit or within days — often same-day.

Yes. All Acorn GPs are UK-registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and current on their professional appraisal and revalidation. We are regulated by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW), the independent regulator for private healthcare in Wales.
