Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Quick access to expert medical care shouldn't come with guesswork. In Crawley, many patients seek certainty: if they need a specialist, can their private GP arrange a seamless referral? The answer is yes—at Mayfield Clinic, we bridge the gap between fast GP appointments and premium specialist care. Here’s how it works in Crawley and why our unique model makes a difference.

How Private GP Referrals Work Near Crawley

If you're resident in Crawley and looking for a private GP referral, you’ll be seen by our team at Horsham, just a short drive away. Our Horsham practice serves patients from Crawley, offering continuity of care with the same named doctor for every visit—no explaining your story twice. Once your GP determines you need specialist input, we’ll discuss your options—clearly and transparently.

Expert, Trusted Specialist Network

At Mayfield Clinic, we maintain a vetted network of consultants, primarily in Oxford and London, chosen for their expertise and patient feedback. Whether you need cardiology, dermatology, or another field, your private doctor can refer you directly to one of these specialists. If you prefer, we can also facilitate NHS referrals, depending on your needs and circumstances.

If you’re in Crawley, you can access rapid GP appointments in Horsham, and walk away with a thorough consultation and a direct referral path—often within days, not weeks.

How the Referral Process Works

You’ll be involved at every stage. Your GP will talk through referral options with you, outlining waiting times, costs, and locations. If you choose a private route, we’ll coordinate everything—from referral letters to sharing essential records with your chosen specialist. Our private prescription service also means you can start any required medications without delay.
