NHS alternative private GP care for Kesgrave patients

Waiting months for a routine appointment costs time and peace of mind; 1 in 4 people report delays affecting their daily life. If you live in Kesgrave and need faster access or longer consultations, Mayfield Clinic offers a practical private GP alternative that works alongside your NHS care.

Our private GP service gives you immediate availability, longer appointment slots and continuity with the same named doctor — features many patients in Kesgrave tell us they want but can’t always get locally. You do not need to leave your NHS GP to use our services; we coordinate with your existing records when required.

How Mayfield Clinic serves Kesgrave

Though our Kesgrave patients are seen at our Ipswich practice, we treat Kesgrave as local. Appointments for Kesgrave residents are routinely available at our Ipswich clinic (book details here: Mayfield Clinic Kesgrave), with flexibility for urgent same-week slots. If you prefer, you can view our Ipswich location and directions here: Mayfield Clinic Ipswich.

When a private GP is the right choice

Choose a private GP with us in Kesgrave when you need: urgent advice without long NHS waits, a second opinion, longer time to discuss complex symptoms, or straightforward testing and treatment without delay. Our consultations are focused, confidential and tailored to your needs. Typical appointments are double the time of standard NHS slots so we can explore your concerns properly.

Practical benefits for Kesgrave patients

Immediate appointments: book online via the Book now button for quick access. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp for fastest service.
Named doctor continuity: see the same clinician each time to build rapport and reduce repeated explanations.
Coordination with NHS care: we share information with your NHS GP when helpful, avoiding duplication and ensuring safe, joined-up care.

Example pathways

Urgent symptoms: same-week GP review, targeted tests and referral if needed.
Chronic condition review: extended appointments with a named doctor to review treatment, medications and lifestyle adjustments.
Second opinion: a private review of complex diagnoses and management, with a clear written summary you can take back to your NHS GP.

Many people from Kesgrave tell us the relief of being seen quickly and by the same doctor — it transforms care.
