NHS alternative: Private GP care near Stotfold — Mayfield Clinic

Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Fast, familiar private GP care for Stotfold patients

Nearly a third of patients report waiting more than two weeks for routine GP appointments; when time matters, that delay can affect work, family and recovery. Mayfield Clinic provides a practical NHS alternative private GP service for people in Stotfold who need quicker access, longer consultations and a named doctor who knows them.

Why consider a private GP alternative in Stotfold?

Choosing a private GP instead of NHS care doesn’t mean turning your back on the NHS. Our private GPs offer the same comprehensive general practice services—urgent appointments, chronic disease reviews, travel advice, and referrals—with immediate availability and appointments long enough to cover complex problems. If your NHS waiting times are too long, a private doctor can offer timely diagnostics, a second opinion or simply the extra time to address health concerns properly.

What Mayfield Clinic offers nearby Stotfold

We deliver private GP appointments from our practice in Hitchin for patients in Stotfold. That means fast access to a dedicated GP, continuity of care with the same named doctor, and personalised treatment plans. Key features include:

• Immediate or next-day appointments for urgent issues.
• Standard 20–30 minute consultations (longer when needed).
• Same named GP for follow-up and chronic care continuity.
• Private referrals and fast-track blood tests or imaging when clinically required.
