Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Fast, personalised private GP care for Ringmer patients

Many local patients now wait two weeks or more for routine NHS GP appointments. If you live in Ringmer and need quicker access or more time with a doctor, Mayfield Clinic provides a practical NHS alternative: rapid appointments, continuity with a named GP and care coordinated alongside your existing NHS record.

How our private GP service works for Ringmer residents

We offer immediate availability for urgent problems, longer consultations when you need them and follow‑ups with the same clinician. Appointments for Ringmer patients are delivered from our Lewes practice — see our Lewes location here: Mayfield Clinic Lewes. For local information and services aimed at Ringmer, visit our Ringmer page: Mayfield Clinic — Ringmer.

When a private GP is the right alternative to your NHS GP

Choose a private GP instead of waiting when: you need a same‑day opinion, you want a longer appointment to discuss multiple issues, or you need a second opinion on test results. Our clinicians can treat urgent minor illness, manage chronic conditions, and refer for diagnostics faster than standard NHS wait times.

Continuity of care — the same named doctor

Consistency matters. Our model is built so you see the same named doctor whenever possible — this makes appointments more efficient and builds the relationship needed for complex problems.

Practical steps to book and what to expect

All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button on our site. Members can also book directly by phone or WhatsApp. When you book, note that your consultation will take place at our Lewes clinic; travel from Ringmer to Lewes is straightforward by car or a short bus ride across the South Downs.

What we can do that complements your NHS care

You don’t need to leave your NHS GP to use Mayfield Clinic. We work alongside existing NHS arrangements — sharing reports and letters when you want us to. Typical private GP services Ringmer patients use include rapid diagnostic referrals, same‑day prescriptions for urgent needs, comprehensive health checks and private sick notes where appropriate.

Local detail: Ringmer to Lewes — the patient journey

Ringmer sits close to Lewes and Glyndebourne; many patients enjoy combining a clinic visit with local errands or a short walk on the South Downs. Our Lewes practice is equipped for consultations, basic diagnostics and onward referrals — a convenient option for Ringmer residents seeking private healthcare without long waits.

Pricing and membership options

We offer single private GP consultations and membership plans for regular access to the same clinician. Members benefit from telephone and WhatsApp booking options and preferential appointment slots that suit busy Ringmer lifestyles.
