Is Seeing a Private GP in Littlehampton Worth It?

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Short waiting lists. Longer, more dedicated appointments. The chance to see the same GP every visit. For residents of Littlehampton, trying to solve health problems swiftly can be a real challenge with stretched NHS services—recent figures show average waits in West Sussex increasing each year. But there’s an alternative that’s gaining real traction: seeing a private GP.

Why Consider a Private GP in Littlehampton?

For families and professionals in Littlehampton who need rapid medical advice or support, Mayfield Clinic offers swift, easy access to GPs with highly flexible scheduling—delivered face-to-face at our modern Chichester practice, just a short drive from Littlehampton, or conveniently online. No more waiting weeks for an initial appointment. No rush during your consultation. Instead, each visit delivers clear advice, thorough assessments, and next steps tailored directly to you.

What Sets Private GP Appointments Apart?

It’s simple: time and continuity. Our patients often highlight the reassurance that comes from seeing the same named doctor at every appointment. Building this ongoing relationship means you’re not repeating your history or symptoms—your Mayfield Clinic GP knows your story already. Compared to the NHS, where you might see a different clinician each time, this consistency translates to better, more personalised results.

From acute infections and skin issues to persistent migraines and digestive concerns, private GPs deal with the full spectrum—often providing on-the-spot solutions or expedited specialist referrals.

Range of Services for the Littlehampton Community

Our Chichester-based practice, serving individuals in Littlehampton, can often see you on a same-day or next-day basis. Whether it’s advice, blood tests, prescriptions, medicals or lifestyle guidance, Mayfield Clinic covers it all. Consultation lengths are generous, giving you ample time to discuss every issue in detail—something rarely possible with even the best-intentioned NHS GP appointments.
