Vale Healthcare is open to all patients, both with medical insurance and those who self-fund.

If you have medical insurance / health insurance then you will require a GP referral, and preauthorisation for treatment from your medical insurer.

Patients who are self-funding can self-refer for most specialities. You will however require a GP or clinician referral for some diagnostic investigations such as MRI.

Most of our consultants hold daily or weekly clinics so you will usually be able to see a consultant fairly quickly.

Sometimes your appointment wait will depend on the consultant you wish to see. Some of our more senior consultants may have a waiting time for appointments however you will always be offered an alternative appointment with an another consultant.
