Fewer people realise that more than four million individuals in the UK choose private healthcare every year. In Hatfield, many seek quick and personalised medical care, but have questions about whether a private GP can facilitate specialist referrals. Finding answers is easier than you might think.

At Mayfield Clinic, we understand the importance of seamless access to top-tier consultants in areas like Oxford or London. We have built a trusted referral pathway that ensures you are guided every step of the way. Whether you need a private doctor referral UK or want to find out how private referrals work, we provide clarity from the very start.

Why Choose a Private GP for Referral?

When you visit our St Albans location from Hatfield (find out more here), you will be seen by experienced GPs who take time to listen. If a private GP referral is advised, we involve you in the decision-making process. This approach means you know exactly when and why a specialist referral is appropriate, be it to someone within our Oxford and London network or even through NHS channels if that is your preference.

Your health goals remain our top priority, from diagnosis to ongoing treatment.

What the Referral Process Looks Like

It starts with a thorough consultation. We assess your condition, offer guidance, and if specialist input is needed, we walk you through your options clearly. This can include private GP to specialist referral or understanding whether a private GP can refer to the NHS. We keep detailed records to ensure continuity of care, so each professional involved in your treatment has the full picture.

Some patients worry about cost or wait times. At Mayfield, we maintain strong professional relationships with reputable specialists, which helps secure timely appointments. Our online booking system streamlines scheduling, although members can choose to book via phone or WhatsApp too. If you are comparing the value of private care, exploring membership packages might be beneficial.

The Mayfield Difference

Our referral network is carefully selected for their outstanding care standards. We make certain you receive not just a quick consultation but also ongoing support. Communication is key, and we liaise with specialists throughout your journey, tracking your progress. Plus, if you would prefer an NHS route, we show you how that works, so you can decide what fits you best.
