Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Fast access to specialist care can be life-changing. In Reading, patients looking for clear answers and direct routes to treatment increasingly turn to private GPs for help navigating referrals. At Mayfield Clinic, we ensure that every referral—whether to a private consultant or NHS specialist—is expert, transparent, and tailored to your needs.

How Does a Private GP Referral Work?

When you see our private GP, your concerns are heard in full. If your situation requires specialist knowledge or advanced diagnostics, your GP will guide you through your options and explain each step, so you always know what’s happening. From our nearby Newbury clinic, just a short journey from Reading, you’ll benefit from our carefully vetted consultant network—primarily expert professionals based in Oxford and London, many of whom we know personally for their dedication to outstanding patient care.

Can a Private GP Refer to NHS Specialists?

Yes. Our GPs can refer Reading patients both to private consultants and into NHS pathways when suitable. "Can private GPs refer you to the NHS?" is a question we hear often—rest assured, with appropriate medical justification, our referrals are accepted by NHS hospitals and services. This gives you flexibility and access, supporting both your preferences and your needs.

Effective referrals are about more than just forms—they’re about getting you the right care with complete transparency and coordination at every stage.
