Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Ever felt frustrated trying to see a GP quickly or having to repeat your medical history to a new face with every appointment? In Hungerford and the surrounding Berkshire area, this is a common story. At Mayfield Clinic, we’re changing that experience for local residents by offering premium private GP consultations just a short journey away in Newbury. Our approach prioritises time, continuity, and the comfort of seeing the same trusted doctor—giving you control over your health care.

The Essence of a Private GP Consultation

A private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic offers the same expertise and medical standards you expect from NHS GPs—but with added advantages. You can discuss any health concern in-depth, benefit from prompt assessment, and receive a truly patient-centred approach. Whether you need reassurance, a blood test, a private prescription, or a specialist referral, your concerns are given the full attention they deserve—right here for Hungerford patients at our Newbury location.

"Most Mayfield Clinic patients are seen within 24 hours of booking. For families and busy professionals in Hungerford, that accessibility is a breakthrough."

Appointment Duration: More Time for What Matters

Unlike the typical 10-minute NHS appointment, our standard private GP consultations last 30 minutes. Consultations are never rushed—you’re free to discuss multiple issues, ask questions about previous investigations, or talk openly about worries that might otherwise be missed. Need longer? You can book extended sessions, all available to Hungerford residents via our fast online booking.

Our Private GP Services: Personal, Accessible, Reassuring

Our GPs offer comprehensive care: private health checks, preventative medicine, mental health support, detailed annual reviews and prompt investigations (including private prescriptions). If you need specialist advice, we make referrals directly and smooth the process at every step. Many Hungerford patients value not just our speed and expertise, but also the ability to repeatedly choose the same named doctor for continuity and peace of mind.
