NHS alternative: Private GP care for Timperley — fast, personal appointments

Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

We aim to see Timperley patients within 48 hours. Waits that stretch into weeks are frustrating. You should be heard, and your doctor should know your story.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Timperley?

When NHS waiting times are too long, Mayfield Clinic provides a practical alternative to NHS GP care for Timperley residents. Our approach is simple: rapid access, longer consultations and the same named doctor whenever possible. That means real continuity of care — not a different face every visit.

What a private GP appointment looks like

Appointments at our practice are longer than typical NHS slots, giving you time to explain symptoms, review tests and agree a clear plan. For Timperley patients we offer urgent appointments, routine reviews and second opinions. Consultations can include physical examination, paperwork such as fit notes or specialist referrals, and immediate investigations or blood tests when needed.

How we work alongside your NHS GP

You do not need to leave your NHS GP to use our private GP services. We can liaise with your NHS practice and send letters or reports so your medical record remains complete. Many Timperley patients use Mayfield Clinic for urgent issues or more detailed reviews while keeping their NHS registration active.

We operate from our Altrincham practice for Timperley patients — a short journey that gives you quicker access when the NHS can’t meet immediate needs. Book online from Timperley via our local page: Mayfield Clinic Timperley.

Practical points for Timperley residents

Our clinical team sees Timperley patients at our Altrincham site. Travel is straightforward from Timperley by car or Metrolink; Altrincham is typically a short drive away and easy to reach from the village. When you arrive we prioritise continuity — we aim to match you with the same named GP for follow-ups whenever possible.

Speed and continuity — the difference

Fast access and continuity are our two core promises. Fast access means same-day or next-day appointments for urgent needs and short waits for routine care. Continuity means a named GP who follows your case, reducing repetition and improving outcomes. Those combined benefits are what make a private GP a compelling alternative to NHS GP appointments for many people in Timperley.

How to book and membership options

All appointments should be booked online using the Book now button on our website (Timperley page: https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/nearby-locations/timperley). Members may also book directly by phone or WhatsApp for added convenience and priority booking.

When a private GP is the right choice

Choose Mayfield Clinic if you need a faster appointment than the NHS can provide, more time with a doctor, or a second opinion. Examples: persistent symptoms that haven’t been explained, repeat prescriptions that need careful review, or work-related medicals with tight deadlines. For anything that requires hospital referral we can arrange the next steps promptly and provide clear documentation for your NHS record.
