NHS alternative: Private GP care for Barry residents

Fast, personal GP care for Barry — an NHS alternative when you need it now

Long waits and five‑minute appointments leave many patients in Barry frustrated. Mayfield Clinic offers a private GP alternative that gives Barry residents immediate access to longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor. If you want a quick GP alternative in Barry without leaving NHS care, we’re here to help.

How our private GP service in Barry works

Mayfield Clinic provides private GP appointments for people in Barry at our nearby Cardiff practice. You can book online via the Book now button; members may also book by phone or WhatsApp. Appointments are available promptly, with longer consultation times and same‑day or next‑day availability for many concerns.

What you get that’s different to NHS GP care

• Faster access: Urgent problems often need immediate attention — avoid long NHS waiting lists with quicker appointments in Cardiff for Barry patients.
• Longer consultations: More time with your GP means better history taking, tailored treatment and shared decision making.
• Continuity of care: We aim to provide a named doctor so you see the same clinician each visit — valuable for complex or chronic conditions.
• Collaboration with your NHS GP: You don’t have to unregister. We send clinic letters and work alongside your existing NHS care.
