NHS alternative private GP care in Arlesey — Fast access, named doctor

Faster GP care for Arlesey when NHS waits are too long

Across the country many patients face waits of a week or more for routine GP appointments; for Arlesey residents that delay can mean missed work, worry and worsening symptoms. Mayfield Clinic offers an NHS alternative private GP option that prioritises speed and continuity, so you get seen quickly and by the same doctor each time.

How our private GP alternative works for Arlesey

Mayfield Clinic provides private GP care accessible to people living in Arlesey. You don't need to leave your NHS GP — we work alongside your existing healthcare. We offer urgent appointments, second opinions and longer consultations when the NHS can't meet your immediate needs. Appointments for Arlesey patients are delivered from our practice in Hitchin (see our Hitchin location: Mayfield Clinic, Hitchin), and you can find local information for Arlesey here: Mayfield Clinic — Arlesey.

You can use a private doctor as an NHS alternative without leaving your regular GP — faster access, longer appointments and named-doctor continuity when it matters most.

What you can expect

Quick GP alternative in Arlesey: same-day or next-day appointments where possible, longer consultation times (20–30 minutes or more on request) and a focus on follow-up with the same named GP. Our GPs provide comprehensive assessment, tests or onward referrals and clear written summaries you can share with your NHS GP.

Who benefits from a private GP instead of NHS timing

People in Arlesey choose a private GP when they need: urgent assessment, a second opinion, discreet care, or simply time to discuss complex issues. Parents with young children, shift workers and those with ongoing conditions often prefer the reliability of booked longer appointments and a named doctor they see repeatedly.

Working alongside your NHS care

We will never ask you to leave your NHS GP. Mayfield Clinic can act as an alternative to NHS GP services in Arlesey when waits are long. We can share clinical notes and liaise with your NHS team with your consent, ensuring continuity of care and avoiding conflicting treatment plans.

Appointments, membership and booking

All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button. Members in Arlesey can also book directly by phone or via WhatsApp for rapid access. For many patients a short private appointment prevents a longer NHS wait for the same investigation or referral.

Practical note for Arlesey residents

Although we promote services for Arlesey, clinics and face-to-face appointments are delivered from our Hitchin practice — typically around a short drive from Arlesey. Many local patients already travel to Hitchin for work and appointments, making Mayfield Clinic a convenient quick GP alternative for Arlesey.
