What Is a Private GP Consultation? Thatcham’s Guide to Premium Care

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Looking for fast access to a dedicated GP in Thatcham? Appointments through the NHS can sometimes feel rushed or difficult to secure. In contrast, a private GP consultation provides you with more time, flexibility, and a patient-centred approach. At Mayfield Clinic, we’re extending our renowned private GP service to Thatcham patients – delivered from our welcoming Newbury practice (see our Newbury location), just a short trip away.

What Happens During a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic in Newbury, available to individuals in Thatcham, is similar to visiting your NHS GP—but with added benefits. You’ll speak one-to-one with an experienced private doctor about any health concern. We allow a standard 30-minute appointment (compare that with most NHS 10-minute slots), giving you space for an unrushed discussion and thorough assessment. If your situation calls for it, you can even book longer sessions.

What Makes Private GP Consultations Different?

For Thatcham residents, the main advantages lie in rapid access and continuity. Many private GP consultations can be booked for the same day. At Mayfield Clinic, we prioritise letting patients regularly see the same named GP. This is especially valuable for long-term or complex conditions, building trust and ensuring truly personalised care.

“It’s not just about getting you seen quickly – it’s about being heard and feeling confident that your ongoing health is properly managed.”

We operate a Membership scheme designed for patients who value regular, premium GP access. With our Core Subscription, you get a set number of appointments each year, access to a direct booking line, and priority slots (why we believe Membership is best). We keep comprehensive patient records, ensuring seamless care each visit. Learn more and check if Membership is suitable for you.
