Private GP

Fast access when you need it — for St Ives patients

Waiting days for a routine consultation is frustrating. At Mayfield Clinic we focus on speed and continuity: many patients from St Ives are seen the same day or next day, whether they choose an online private GP appointment from home or an in-person visit at our nearby Cambridge clinic.

How our appointments work

All appointments are booked online via the Book now button on our site. Members can also book directly over the phone or via WhatsApp. You can choose from:

Typical waiting times

We routinely offer same day private GP slots for urgent concerns and next-day availability for routine issues. If you’re searching for a "same day private GP" or a "fast GP appointment UK" from St Ives, Mayfield Clinic aims to get you seen in hours rather than days.

Why quick access matters

Rapid access helps resolve problems sooner, reduces stress and often prevents escalation of symptoms. For St Ives residents, a quick online private GP appointment can be arranged in minutes — or you can travel to our Cambridge clinic and be seen in person, typically within 30–40 minutes by car depending on traffic.

“Fast, flexible care — whether you want a video consultation from home in St Ives or an in-person appointment at our Cambridge clinic.”

Seeing the same doctor each time

Continuity is a core part of our service. We encourage patients to book with a named GP so you build a consistent relationship. That means your follow-ups, test results and any ongoing care remain with the same clinician, whether it's an online private GP appointment or an in-clinic visit.

How to get started from St Ives

1) Click the Book now button on our website to see available slots. 2) Choose online or in-person at Cambridge. 3) Members can call or WhatsApp to book directly. For full details on accessing our services see our Accessing Mayfield Clinics services page: Accessing Mayfield Clinic's services.

When you might prefer membership

If speed of access matters to you, consider our private GP membership — it gives priority booking and more flexible contact options. Learn whether membership is right for you here: Is a Mayfield Clinic Membership right for you? and find out why patients choose us: Why Mayfield Clinic.

Referrals and prescriptions

If you need specialist referral or private prescriptions following your consultation, we manage those quickly and clearly — see our referrals and prescriptions pages for how we do this: Referrals and Prescriptions.

Meet our clinicians

If continuity is important, you can review our clinicians and choose a GP who suits you: Meet the team. We regularly schedule appointments so St Ives patients can build an ongoing relationship with the same named doctor.

If you’re searching "private doctor near me" from St Ives, try a quick online consult first — it’s often the fastest route to clinical advice and onward tests or referrals.

Other options — Oxford and online

We also offer private GP booking in Oxford and in our London clinic. If travel is easier or you prefer an in-person appointment elsewhere, you can select those locations when you book. For those who want the convenience of an "online private GP" we offer video consultations that fit around work and family life.
