Feeling frustrated by long NHS waits in Nailsea? You're not alone. Thousands across the UK seek faster answers, especially when specialist care is required. At Mayfield Clinic, residents of Nailsea have a premier option: private GP appointments with seamless specialist referrals conducted from our nearby Bristol clinic.

Your Pathway from Private GP to Specialist in Nailsea

If you're based in Nailsea and wondering, “Can a private GP refer me to a specialist?” — the answer is a resounding yes. At Mayfield Clinic, we understand the value of rapid, reliable access to consultants. Our experienced GPs offer both private and NHS referral routes, tailored to your needs and situation. We work closely with a trusted network of consultants, primarily in Oxford and London, but accessible for all Nailsea patients from our Bristol base.

“The referral process isn’t just a tick-box exercise. Each patient’s journey is unique. We’re here to clarify options and support every step.”

Private GP Referral: What to Expect

During your consultation, your Mayfield GP will listen, assess, and discuss possible next steps. If specialist care is warranted, you’ll be included in every decision. Whether it’s a private GP to specialist referral, or a direct referral to an NHS consultant, all options are transparently discussed and documented.

For patients in Nailsea, appointments are conducted from our Bristol clinic — easily commutable and designed for comfort and efficiency. You can book online instantly. Members are also welcome to book by phone or WhatsApp.

Our Specialist Network and Seamless Care

The GPs at Mayfield Clinic have curated a robust referral network. This means when you’re referred privately, you’re introduced to a specialist with a track record for both expertise and empathy.

Prefer NHS? We can arrange that too. Private doctor referrals in the UK aren’t strictly for private consultants; we also work with NHS teams when appropriate—streamlining communication to facilitate the right outcome for Nailsea residents every time.

Keeping You Informed and in Control

Once your referral is made, we keep detailed records, ensuring continuity of care whether you remain with us at Mayfield or transition entirely to a specialist. Our team coordinates directly with consultants to minimise delays and keep you in the loop.
