NHS alternative: Private GP care for Stockport with faster access

NHS alternative private GP care in Stockport

Many patients face waits of two weeks or longer for routine GP appointments. When time matters, Mayfield Clinic offers Stockport residents a practical alternative: private GP care with faster access, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor.

Why choose a private GP instead of waiting?

Long waits are frustrating. You may need a second opinion, urgent reassurance or simply more time to talk through complex symptoms. Our private GP service provides immediate availability for Stockport patients, extended appointment times to explore issues properly and a consistent clinician who knows your history.

How Mayfield Clinic works for Stockport patients

You don’t need to leave your NHS GP to use our service. We work alongside existing NHS care: you can book a consultation for a second opinion, urgent symptom review or focused chronic disease management and, where appropriate, we’ll share a summary with your NHS GP.

Although we promote services to Stockport, consultations for new Mayfield Clinic patients are delivered from our Altrincham practice. If you’re in Stockport, a short commute takes you to our Altrincham team who provide the same high-standard private GP care. Learn more about local booking on our Stockport page here and our Altrincham practice here.

What you’ll get with Mayfield Clinic

• Faster access to a qualified GP when NHS waiting times are too long for Stockport patients.
• Longer appointments so investigations, lifestyle and mental wellbeing are discussed in depth.
• Named-doctor continuity: see the same clinician for follow-ups, reducing repetition and improving outcomes.
• Clear follow-up plans and written summaries you can share with your NHS GP.

Practical steps to book and prepare

Book online using the Book now button on our site to secure an appointment. Members can also book directly by phone or via WhatsApp. Before your visit, bring any recent test results, a list of medications and a brief timeline of the problem — this speeds diagnosis and keeps your appointment focused.

“We provide the speed and continuity many Stockport patients need when NHS waiting times slow care down.”

When private GP care makes the most difference

Private GP appointments are especially useful for: urgent-but-not-emergency concerns, faster access to referrals and imaging, detailed chronic disease reviews and personalised second opinions. For Stockport patients who value time and continuity, our Altrincham clinic provides a dependable alternative to long NHS waits.

Cost and record-keeping

Private consultations are charged separately from NHS care. We keep thorough, confidential records and, with your permission, can send a clinical summary to your NHS GP so your overall care remains joined-up.
