How Quickly Can I See a Private GP in Newmarket?

How Quickly Can I See a Private GP in Newmarket?

When you need a doctor fast, speed and certainty matter. Many Newmarket residents juggle busy schedules around the racecourse, stables and commuting — and waiting days for a GP appointment simply doesn’t fit. At Mayfield Clinic we aim to remove that delay: patients frequently get same-day or next-day appointments, either online from home or in person at our nearby Cambridge practice.

Same-day and next-day appointments: what to expect

Our private GP service is built for speed. For most straightforward issues — acute infections, minor injuries, medication reviews and urgent advice — you can usually be seen the same day or the next day. Appointments are available as:

• Online private GP consultations (video or phone) for immediate advice;
• Face-to-face consultations at our Cambridge clinic (serving Newmarket patients);
• Follow-up slots for tests, prescriptions or referrals.

If you’re searching for a “private doctor near me” in Newmarket, choose your appointment type and book online via the Book now button. Members have the additional benefit of booking directly by phone or WhatsApp for even faster access.

Booking: fastest routes and practical tips

All appointments are booked online through our website. For Newmarket patients who need rapid access, the quickest route is:

1. Click Book now on the Mayfield Clinic site;
2. Select an online or Cambridge (face-to-face) appointment;
3. Choose an available same-day or next-day slot.

If you’re considering regular fast access, our private GP membership may suit you. Membership allows easier booking and priority slots — see Is a Mayfield Clinic Membership right for you? and Why Mayfield Clinic for details.

Online private GP consultations — a quick alternative

For many conditions an online private GP consultation is as effective as an in-person visit. You can access care from home in Newmarket and avoid travel to Cambridge. Use online appointments for:

• Prescription renewals and medication advice;
• Assessment of acute symptoms to decide whether in-person review or tests are needed;
• Follow-up reviews after referrals or investigations.

Our clinicians are experienced at virtual assessment and, where necessary, will arrange face-to-face follow-up at our Cambridge clinic. See our page on private prescriptions for how we manage medication safely.

Continuity of care — the same named doctor

Fast access is one half of excellent care. The other half is continuity. We aim to provide regular access to the same named doctor when possible so your history and preferences aren’t lost between appointments. That continuity is particularly helpful for chronic conditions, ongoing medication management and complex problems.

If you live in Newmarket and prefer to be seen in person, appointments are delivered from our Cambridge practice — details here: Mayfield Clinic Cambridge.

Referrals and investigations

Need a specialist referral or scans quickly? Private referrals are arranged promptly and we work with a wide network of consultants and diagnostic services so you avoid long NHS waits. Read about our referral process here: Referrals. We’ll often book investigations the same week once a clinician has assessed you.

Quick access doesn’t mean rushed care. Our approach is fast, careful and focused on keeping your treatment consistent — whether you’re in Newmarket or visiting our Cambridge clinic.

What happens at your Cambridge visit?

Although you find us via Newmarket search, your face-to-face appointment will typically be at our Cambridge practice. Expect a friendly check-in, a thorough assessment and clear next steps — tests, prescriptions or a specialist referral if needed. If travel is difficult, request an online consultation first and we’ll advise whether an in-person visit is necessary.

Costs, membership and value

Private GP appointments offer speed and continuity. If you expect to need frequent or urgent access, our membership plans reduce per-visit costs and give priority booking.
