NHS alternative private GP care in Burgess Hill: faster, personalised appointments

Fast, personalised private GP care for Burgess Hill patients

Long NHS waits are frustrating. Recent NHS data shows thousands of routine appointments delayed across the country each week; Burgess Hill residents often tell us they need quicker answers. At Mayfield Clinic we offer a clear alternative to NHS GP delays: immediate access, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor.

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

Consider private GP care if you need a quick GP alternative in Burgess Hill for urgent but non-emergency issues, a second opinion, or longer appointments to address complex health concerns. You do not need to leave your NHS GP; our service works alongside NHS arrangements and we will communicate with your usual doctor when you want us to.

Quick access and continuity: what you get

1) Faster appointments: we aim to offer same-day or next-day consultations when the NHS waiting list is long. 2) Longer consultations: standard NHS slots are often 10 minutes. Our appointments give more time so we can explore symptoms, lifestyle and treatment options. 3) Named doctor consistency: you can request to see the same GP each time, building continuity — important for managing chronic conditions and complex cases.

Typical scenarios Burgess Hill patients choose us for

- Urgent-but-not-emergency symptoms needing prompt assessment. - Second opinions on diagnosis or medication when NHS waits delay clarity. - Pre-employment or travel medicals where a faster turnaround is required. - Ongoing management of conditions like asthma, diabetes or mental health where extended review time helps.

Appointments are booked online via the Book now button. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp directly. Consultations are available face-to-face at Hurstpierpoint, or remotely where appropriate.
