At Mayfield Clinic, we’re dedicated to demystifying the referral process for Selsey patients, offering precision and clarity every step of the way.

How Does a Private GP Referral Work?

Around 60% of patients will, at some point, require referral to a specialist during their medical journey. Our private GPs in Selsey, providing services from our Chichester clinic, work closely with you to understand your unique needs. If specialist input is beneficial, we discuss options and guide you through the process—whether it’s to a renowned consultant in Oxford or London, or to a trusted NHS specialist.

Can a Private GP Refer Me to the NHS?

Absolutely. A common misconception in Selsey is that private GPs only refer to private consultants. In fact, we can—and regularly do—facilitate NHS referrals as part of your ongoing care. Want to know more about accessing our GP services? Discover how we work here.
