NHS alternative private GP care in Hassocks — faster, personalised appointments

Accessible private GP care for Hassocks when NHS waits are too long

Waiting lists across the UK have grown; roughly one in five patients now say they avoid seeking care because of delays. If you live in Hassocks and need quicker access, Mayfield Clinic offers a practical NHS alternative private GP service that puts time and continuity back into your care.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Hassocks?

With Mayfield Clinic you get immediate availability, longer consultations and the option to see the same named doctor each visit. That continuity matters: it reduces repeat tests, improves diagnosis accuracy and builds a relationship so minor issues don't become major problems. Our Hassocks patients are seen at our nearby Hurstpierpoint practice — conveniently located and easy to reach from Hassocks by car, bike or public transport. Bookings are made online via the Book now button; members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.

What we provide that the NHS might not

We match NHS GP clinical standards while offering:

• Faster appointments — often same-day or next-day compared with long NHS waits;
• Longer consultations — 20–30 minutes by default so your concerns are fully explored;
• Named GP continuity — see the same clinician each time whenever possible;
• Urgent and routine care — from second opinions and ongoing chronic disease reviews to travel advice and occupational letters;
• Private tests and referrals arranged quickly, cutting through NHS delays.

How we work with your NHS GP

You don't need to leave your NHS GP to use Mayfield Clinic as a Private GP instead of NHS care. We share information with your permission. That means we can provide a second opinion, urgent review or a longer appointment while your NHS registration remains unchanged. Many Hassocks residents appreciate that collaborative approach: quicker treatment, coordinated records and better outcomes.
