NHS alternative: Private GP care for Letchworth Garden City

Many patients now wait weeks for routine NHS GP appointments; if you need faster access or a longer consultation, Mayfield Clinic provides a practical alternative close to Letchworth Garden City. Short journeys, named GPs and same-day options mean you get care when you need it — delivered from our nearby Hitchin practice.

Why choose a private GP alternative to the NHS in Letchworth Garden City?

When NHS waiting times are too long, a Private GP instead of NHS appointment gives you immediate availability, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor. At Mayfield Clinic we focus on quality time: longer appointments let us review complex symptoms, discuss medication changes and plan follow-up without being rushed.

Faster access, same clinical standards

Our private doctor service offers quick GP alternatives for Letchworth Garden City residents who need urgent advice or a prompt second opinion. Consultations follow the same clinical best practice as NHS GPs, but with appointment slots that match your needs rather than a fixed short slot.

Continuity of care

Seeing the same named doctor builds knowledge over time. For chronic conditions, mental health reviews or repeat prescriptions, regular access to the same GP delivers safer, more personalised care than one-off urgent visits.
