Private GP alternative to NHS in Newhaven — Fast, personalised care

More than a third of patients report delays in seeing an NHS GP; when wait times matter, speed and continuity change everything. If you live in Newhaven and need faster access or longer appointment time, Mayfield Clinic offers a clear NHS alternative without asking you to leave your existing GP.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Newhaven?

When NHS waiting times stretch into weeks, a private GP can be the practical option. Our Newhaven patients choose Mayfield Clinic for immediate availability, longer consultations and the ability to see the same named doctor each time. That continuity matters for chronic conditions, complex symptoms and when you want someone who knows your medical history.

How Mayfield Clinic serves Newhaven patients

Although we list services for Newhaven, consultations and care are delivered from our nearby Lewes practice — see our Lewes location here: Mayfield Clinic Lewes. For Newhaven residents this means a short trip for face-to-face reviews while still getting a service tailored to the Newhaven community.

What to expect at your appointment

Booked online via the Book now button, your appointment with Mayfield Clinic offers:

• Quicker access than typical NHS waits for routine and urgent concerns;
• Longer appointments so your issues are fully explored;
• Named doctor continuity — you can see the same GP for follow-ups;
• Coordination with your NHS records and referrals when needed.

Working alongside your NHS care

You do not need to deregister from your NHS GP to use our services. We act as an alternative to NHS GP care in Newhaven, providing second opinions, urgent appointments or additional time for complex discussions. We can send reports back to your NHS practice and collaborate on investigations or referrals.

“Many Newhaven patients value having a private option that complements — rather than replaces — NHS care.”

When a private doctor is the right choice

Choose a private GP instead of NHS when you need urgent clarity, a faster diagnosis, or regular reviews with one named clinician. For example: ongoing musculoskeletal pain, persistent digestive symptoms, repeat prescriptions with regular monitoring, or when an employer needs a clear fitness-for-work assessment.

Appointments, membership and how to book

All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button. Members in Newhaven can book directly over the phone or via WhatsApp for added convenience. If you live in Newhaven and prefer in-person care, our Lewes practice provides the clinical setting for face-to-face appointments and tests.

Local note — Newhaven to Lewes

Newhaven sits on the coast, a short journey from Lewes by road or rail. Patients often tell us they appreciate combining a visit to the clinic with local errands or the harbour walk — practical and restorative. We aim to make the trip worthwhile with efficient clinics and continuity of care.
