The answer is yes—at Mayfield Clinic, we bridge the gap between fast GP appointments and high-calibre specialist care, giving you the peace of mind of knowing you’re in professional hands.

Navigating Your Choices: Private or NHS Specialist Referrals?

“Can a private GP refer to the NHS?” It’s a frequent question. The answer is yes—our GPs can refer you to NHS specialists if that’s your preference or the most suitable route for your needs. If you’re considering a private consultant, our referral gives you direct access, often reducing waiting times and putting you in touch with the region’s leading experts.
