NHS alternative private GP care in Pontefract — Fast private GP access

If you're in Pontefract and waiting two weeks for a routine GP appointment, you're not alone. Many local patients tell us that long waits and five‑minute consultations leave them anxious and unheard. Mayfield Clinic offers a clear NHS alternative private GP service for Pontefract residents: faster access, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Pontefract?

When the NHS can't meet your immediate needs, a private GP is a practical alternative. Our Pontefract patients choose Mayfield Clinic because appointments are available quickly, consultations last longer, and we focus on getting a full picture of your health rather than rushing through a symptom list. You don't need to leave your NHS GP to use our service — we work alongside your existing care.

What you get with Mayfield Clinic for Pontefract patients

Fast availability: many patients in Pontefract can be seen within days rather than weeks. Longer appointments: standard slots give you time to discuss complex or multiple issues. Continuity of care: we offer the option to see the same named doctor each time so your history is known and care is consistent.

How we work with your NHS records

We treat private GP care as complementary. If you prefer, we can request relevant NHS records with your consent and send clinical summaries back to your NHS GP. That means Mayfield Clinic acts as an NHS alternative private GP for Pontefract residents while keeping your primary care in the loop — no need to deregister or choose between services.

Where you'll be seen — Leeds practice for Pontefract patients

Although we attract patients from Pontefract, consultations for our Pontefract service take place at our Leeds practice. Many Pontefract patients find the short journey worthwhile for quicker access and longer appointments.

Examples of when a private GP alternative helps

Urgent but non‑emergency problems where NHS wait times are long, complex or multiple symptoms needing a longer consultation, second opinions when you want another clinical view, or simply having a named doctor who knows you. Pontefract residents often seek an alternative to NHS GP when they need clarity and speed.

"Many Pontefract patients tell us they value one full consultation over several rushed ones — the impact on diagnosis and peace of mind is significant."
