Specialties

The Independent General Practice (IGP) provides private GP services, vaccinations, medicals and sexual health tests from our private surgeries in Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea & Newport. As part of The IGP Group, we also provide cosmetic treatments, physiotherapy, & occupational health services.

An appointment with one of our private GPs is an opportunity to discuss any concerns you have with your current health. From here we will be able to provide you with any necessary testing, a referral to a consultant/​specialist and a prescription if required.

History

Established in 2004.

The Independent General Practice (The IGP) is a private doctors service which was founded in 2004 by Dr Joanna Longstaffe. It was IGP’s goal to establish an independent private doctors surgery in Cardiff which would offer an alternative healthcare solution to individual patients, families & businesses.

The IGP became the first private GP service to be registered with the HIW (Health Inspectorate for Wales); the government body responsible for monitoring the standards of private medical practices in Wales.

Following the initial success of the Cardiff City Centre Practice, IGP opened new clinics in Cardiff Gate, Bridgend, Newport, Swansea & Bristol. The new Cardiff Gate Surgery qualified for hospital status in 2012, allowing us to perform specialist treatments and minor surgery.
