Across London routine GP waits can stretch beyond two weeks. If you live in Swiss Cottage and need faster access, Mayfield Clinic offers a clear NHS alternative private GP service with same-day options and longer consultations. You’ll get time, continuity and care tailored to you — without leaving your NHS registration.
Mayfield Clinic provides private GP appointments for residents searching for an alternative to NHS GP care in Swiss Cottage. Consultations are delivered from our Hampstead practice — a short journey from Swiss Cottage — so you get the convenience of local access with the reliability of a dedicated team. Book appointments online via the Book now button; members may book by phone or WhatsApp.
When waiting lists or same-day availability on the NHS are limited, a private doctor offers immediate alternatives: urgent consultations, prompt investigations and quicker referrals to specialists. Our Swiss Cottage patients often prefer private GP appointments when time is important — for urgent issues, travel certificates, second opinions or complex problems that need longer consultations.
At Mayfield Clinic we prioritise regular access to the same named doctor. Continuity improves diagnosis, reduces repeated histories and lets your clinician build a clearer picture of your health over time. For Swiss Cottage residents this means fewer handovers and a doctor who knows you across visits, whether you consult in Hampstead or via follow-up telemedicine.
We provide the same comprehensive primary care services you’d expect from a GP: full consultations, chronic disease reviews, private sick notes, repeat prescriptions, blood tests and referral letters. We also offer second opinions and concierge-style appointments when NHS waiting times are a problem. If you’re searching for “Private GP instead of NHS” or “Private doctor NHS waiting times Swiss Cottage”, you’ll find clear, practical options at Mayfield Clinic.

Although this page targets Swiss Cottage, consultations take place at our Hampstead practice. For details and directions see our Hampstead page: Mayfield Clinic Hampstead. For general local information about our services for Swiss Cottage residents see Mayfield Clinic – Swiss Cottage. Many patients from Swiss Cottage find the short trip to Hampstead straightforward by tube or car, and appointments are scheduled to minimise travel time.
Private GP consultations are charged separately from NHS services. We accept private insurance where applicable and provide clear invoices for claims. If cost is a concern, ask our team about appointment length options — a longer initial consultation can avoid extra visits later.
Expect a full assessment: medical history, medicines review and a clear plan. If tests or referrals are needed we’ll arrange them quickly to avoid NHS delays. Swiss Cottage patients appreciate the focused time we give at the first visit — often 20–30 minutes — which is longer than many routine NHS slots.
Swiss Cottage sits within easy reach of Hampstead, and many of our patients mention walking past the Swiss Cottage library or grabbing a coffee on Finchley Road before their appointment. That short local journey frequently makes private GP care a practical choice for fast access and continuity of care.
