Immediate private GP care for Steyning patients

Our private GP service gives you fast access, longer appointments and continuity with the same named doctor — all without leaving your NHS registration.

Why Steyning patients choose a private GP alternative

Many residents in Steyning tell us they want more time and less hurry at appointments. At Mayfield Clinic we provide that. Book online with the Book now button for rapid availability. Members can also book over the phone or via WhatsApp for extra convenience.

How our care works alongside the NHS

You don’t need to deregister from your NHS GP to use our service. We act as an alternative to NHS GP care in Steyning when you need quicker access or a second opinion. We can share consultation notes with your NHS practice if you wish, maintaining a joined-up medical record between Mayfield Clinic and your NHS GP.

What to expect at your first appointment

Expect longer consultations than typical NHS slots. That means time to explain symptoms, review medication, and address lifestyle or mental health concerns in a single visit. If you’re in Steyning we will see you at our nearby Hurstpierpoint clinic — you can find details on our Hurstpierpoint page: Mayfield Clinic Hurstpierpoint. For general location information see our Steyning page: Mayfield Clinic Steyning.

Services that suit Steyning residents

We offer routine and urgent appointments, repeat prescriptions, chronic condition reviews, workplace medicals and private referrals. If NHS waiting lists are delaying specialist referrals, a private GP appointment can accelerate investigations and onward care.

Continuity of care — the same named doctor

One common frustration is seeing different clinicians each visit. At Mayfield Clinic you can book with the same named doctor for follow-up continuity. That means fewer repeated explanations and a stronger therapeutic relationship.

Quick GP alternative for urgent needs

For Steyning residents who need prompt attention, our quick GP alternative model reduces waiting time. Use the Book now button to secure the next available slot. Members benefit from priority booking and can call or WhatsApp to rearrange or request urgent slots.

Cost and value

Private GP appointments at Mayfield Clinic are priced transparently on our website. Many patients find paying for speed and continuity represents good value when NHS waiting times would otherwise prolong symptoms or uncertainty.
