28/08/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

Most patients contacting Mayfield Clinic from Royston secure an appointment the same day or the next — fast access when you need it. Short waits, clear advice and follow‑up with the same clinician are central to how we work. Whether you need an in‑person consultation or an online private GP appointment from home, this guide explains how quickly you’ll be seen, what affects wait times, and how Royston residents can get prompt care delivered from our Cambridge practice.

How quickly can you be seen?

We aim to offer same day private GP appointments to patients across the Royston area. For routine problems most patients are offered a slot on the same day or the next working day. If you prefer an online private GP consultation, availability is often even quicker — you can be speaking to a clinician within hours.

Online private GP: immediate access from Royston

Online consultations are ideal for Royston residents who want fast access without a commute. You can book an online private GP appointment, upload photos or documents, and receive a plan during the consultation. For prescriptions and referrals we follow the same private pathways as in‑clinic visits.

Fast care, familiar clinicians: many Royston patients book an online appointment in the morning and see the same GP in person that afternoon if needed.

Why some appointments are faster than others

Several factors affect waiting time: clinical urgency, clinician availability, and whether you request a specific named doctor. Members who need flexible access tend to get the fastest slots. Routine checks or complex referrals may require a slightly longer wait so we can arrange appropriate investigations or specialist input.

Membership for priority access

If you need consistently rapid access, consider our private GP membership. Members benefit from priority booking, and can book directly by phone or WhatsApp — ideal for Royston commuters who want to secure a same day private GP slot.
