Private GP

28/08/2025 by Dr Antony Malloy

In 2021, more than 600,000 UK patients turned to private healthcare. This trend highlights one key reason patients in Tonbridge may seek a private GP: prompt access to a specialist. If you’re dealing with a persistent health issue or need an expert opinion, a private GP can swiftly guide you to the right consultant.

Tonbridge has its own slice of Kent charm, nestled near the Medway. Yet for healthcare, you may need to look beyond. While our Mayfield Clinic operates in nearby Sevenoaks, we welcome patients from Tonbridge who want fast, straightforward referrals. With us, you’ll often see the same doctor every visit, so they understand your concerns comprehensively.

Why Might You Need a Specialist Referral?

A specialist referral could be crucial if you’ve battled a condition for too long or require distinct expertise. Our private GP referral process helps you reach top professionals quickly, whether you need advanced imaging, a specific treatment plan, or just additional reassurance. We work with a trusted network of private consultants in Oxford and London, so you can feel confident in their care.

How Does the Referral Process Work?

At Mayfield Clinic, you’ll begin by booking an appointment online via our “Book now” button. Members can also schedule by phone or WhatsApp. Once you consult with our GP, we’ll decide together if you need to see a specialist. We keep you informed of all possibilities, including how private referrals work and the option to see NHS experts. Your paperwork and medical details are carefully compiled to ensure continuity of care.

Choosing Between Private and NHS Specialists

Depending on your personal circumstances, budget, and urgency, we can refer you to either a private consultant or an NHS practice. A private GP can refer to the NHS if that’s the best pathway for you. The important thing is receiving care tailored to your preferences. If you have questions about membership or private prescriptions, our team is happy to explain how it all works.
