Vale Healthcare expands Cardiff Bay Clinic
Vale Healthcare Ltd, the joint venture that combines the strengths of a national not-forprofit healthcare operator, Nuffield Health, with the commitment of prominent consultants in the area – has expanded its offering at its superb new clinic facility with the addition of two new clinics within six months of its Cardiff Bay Clinic launch.
The twelve existing clinics encompass the full medical spectrum including cardiology, ophthalmology, urology, dermatology and orthopaedics, whilst the two new clinics cover cosmetics and sports medicine.
Cosmetics Clinic
The cosmetics clinic provides a wide range of procedures from plastic surgery and non-invasive breast augmentation – using the latest Macrolane technique – to botox. The clinic, which will be led by specialist surgeons – will also offer noninvasive body shaping techniques for men including chest and calves.
Sports Medicine Clinic
The Consultants at the Cardiff Bay Clinic have an established track record working with Welsh and international sports stars and, as a result, they have exceptional knowledge in the area of sports medicine that can be transferred to all patients. This has led to the establishment of the specialist sports medicine clinic, where the sports physicians and surgeons assess and diagnose all sporting injuries, and work closely with the rehabilitation team to provide physiotherapy rehabilitation, osteopathy treatment and dietary biomechanical assessment.
In addition, the Cardiff Bay Clinic provides a rapid access breast care clinic led by three specialist breast consultants, working closely with breast radiologists. They utilise leading MRI technology, alongside traditional methods of mammography and ultrasound, to diagnose and treat patients as quickly and effectively as possible. The Cardiff Bay Clinic is the only clinic in south Wales to offer a breast MRI service.
Vale Healthcare combines the best consultants with the latest medical technology to offer rapid access services for a wide range of conditions, all within a modern environment, and provide the people of south Wales a wider choice and exceptional, expert care.

CANTON
Gym with a twist of the personal touch
Think personal training, and the image that comes to mind is of beautiful Hollywood celebs in oversized sunglasses running around LA barely breaking out in a sweat.
Most people would presume having a personal trainer is out of their reach, the preserve of the rich and famous, or that they'd be left panting and puffing on a corner as the trainer sped off into the distance.
But, thanks to one Cardiff gym – aspire fitness – this is not the case; personal training is affordable to all – as one grandmother can testify.
Mary 83, (above) started training at the age of 78 after being advised to exercise by her doctor. She had just recovered from lung cancer, was very weak and had only one working lung.
All aspire personal trainers are qualified in medical rehabilitation which allows them to train people with a variety of medical conditions including high blood pressure, slipped discs, osteoporosis and diabetes. They can also treat common problems such as back and knee pain.
On her first session with personal trainer and aspire director, Ben Morris, she had to lift her leg with both hands to get onto the exercise bike. Five years on and she is fit, healthy and mobile; on her last visit to see her grandchildren she took them out bike riding for three hours.
What aspire fitness customers say about the gym and personal training.
Thank you for opening such a fantastic place. The benefits that I have gained from coming here extend way beyond improved physical fitness! VICKY
Thank you so much for all you’ve done to get me back in shape and fit after having the twins. Ben is a fantastic trainer and I’ve had a great time! RACHEL
