Private GP

20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Accessible private GP care for Chesham patients

Long NHS waits are causing stress for many. At Mayfield Clinic we offer a reliable NHS alternative private GP service for residents of Chesham, with same-day or next-day appointments, longer consultations and continuity of care with a named doctor.

Why choose a private GP as an NHS alternative in Chesham?

When NHS waiting times stretch out, you don’t have to delay treatment. Our private GP appointments in Chesham give you quick access to experienced clinicians who take the time to understand your concerns. We provide urgent care, second opinions and routine follow-ups — all without leaving your NHS registration. You remain registered with your NHS GP while benefiting from private healthcare close to Chesham.

What you’ll get at Mayfield Clinic

Appointments that run to time: 20–30 minutes as standard for new issues; longer where needed. A named GP you can see regularly, so your notes and preferences are known. Faster diagnostics: where appropriate we arrange blood tests, imaging or specialist referral promptly. Clear, written plans after each consultation and direct follow-up if symptoms change.

How it works for Chesham patients

Mayfield Clinic delivers services to Chesham residents from our practice in Amersham — appointments for Chesham patients are provided at our Amersham clinic. Book online via the Book now button on our site. Members in Chesham can also book by phone or WhatsApp for added convenience. Visit our Chesham page for locality details: Mayfield Clinic — Chesham. For clinic location and directions, see our Amersham page: Mayfield Clinic — Amersham.

Common situations where private GP care helps

Urgent but non-life-threatening problems when NHS slots aren’t available. Complex or multi-symptom consultations that need longer appointment time. Second opinions if you want a private perspective on a diagnosis or treatment plan. Ongoing management with the same named doctor for chronic conditions or mental health support.

Costs and value

Private GP care is paid-for, but it buys prompt access, continuity and extra consultation time. Many patients in Chesham tell us that avoiding multiple visits and faster diagnosis saved time and reduced anxiety — practical value beyond the appointment fee.

Practical steps to book

Clinical continuity and follow-up

We assign a named doctor where possible, so if you’re from Chesham you can build a relationship with the same clinician. That continuity improves diagnostic accuracy and patient satisfaction — especially for ongoing conditions. Where further care is needed, we coordinate with NHS services or private specialists, depending on your choice.
