Accessible private GP care for Shoreham-by-Sea when NHS waits are long

Waiting lists across the UK have stretched; many patients in Shoreham-by-Sea now face delays for routine same-day or extended appointments. At Mayfield Clinic we offer an NHS alternative private GP service for Shoreham-by-Sea residents who need faster access, longer consultations and continuity with a named doctor.

How our private GP service in Shoreham-by-Sea works

Book instantly online via the Book now button. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp for direct scheduling. Although our clinical base is in Hurstpierpoint, our Mayfield Clinic service is available to people living and working in Shoreham-by-Sea — we make travel straightforward and appointments are arranged with local timing in mind.

Immediate availability

When a catch-up call or a same-day consultation matters, a private GP is a realistic alternative to NHS GP delays. We regularly provide urgent appointments and same-week slots so Shoreham-by-Sea patients avoid prolonged waits for care.

Longer appointments and continuity

Short consultations can miss subtle issues. Our private GP appointments give you the time to fully explain symptoms, review medical history and plan investigations. You’re more likely to see the same named doctor at each visit — vital for complex or ongoing problems.

Work alongside your NHS GP

You do not need to leave your NHS GP to use our services. Mayfield Clinic acts as a complementary private healthcare option for Shoreham-by-Sea: second opinions, private blood tests, faster referrals, and urgent reviews. We send clear correspondence to your NHS surgery when you request it.

“You can choose private GP care for speed and continuity without severing links with your NHS GP.”
