Fast access when the NHS can't meet your timeline

Private GP instead of NHS is a practical option when you need an appointment within days rather than weeks. At Mayfield Clinic we offer appointments that fit around your life, not the other way round. That means urgent advice, same-week reviews and the ability to book longer consultations for complex issues.

Named doctor continuity — a real advantage

One of the biggest benefits our Henlow patients tell us is seeing the same doctor consistently. Regular access to a named GP builds a clearer clinical picture, speeds diagnosis and reduces repeated testing. This continuity is central to our care model and particularly valuable if you have ongoing conditions.

“Personal continuity of care makes the difference between repeating your story and getting straight to the right treatment.”

How we work with your NHS care

You don't need to deregister from your NHS GP to use Mayfield Clinic. We act as a complementary option — for second opinions, urgent matters or appointments that need more time. We can provide letters, test requests and shared care information to your NHS team where appropriate, ensuring safe continuity across systems.

What to expect at your appointment

Appointments at our Hitchin clinic for Henlow patients are longer. That gives your GP time for careful history-taking, thorough examination and a clear plan — including investigations or referrals if necessary. If tests are needed we can arrange them promptly and follow up with you directly.
