Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Immediate private GP care for Peacehaven patients

Waiting lists are stretching longer across the country; you should not have to wait weeks for a conversation that takes 20 minutes. At Mayfield Clinic we offer a practical NHS alternative private GP service for Peacehaven residents who need quicker access, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor.

How our private GP service works for Peacehaven

You can keep your NHS GP. Many patients from Peacehaven use our private appointments as a complement to NHS care — for urgent concerns, second opinions or routine reviews with more time. Appointments for Peacehaven patients are delivered from our Lewes practice; see our Lewes location for clinic details and directions.

Faster access, longer appointments

Our model focuses on two things: fast access to doctors and regular access to the same named clinician. That means shorter waits for an appointment, same-day or next-day availability where possible, and 20–30 minute slots so your GP can listen, examine and explain options without rushing.

“An alternative to NHS GP care that works alongside your existing records — faster appointments, deeper consultations.”

What to expect at your first visit

Book online via the Book now button for Peacehaven patients. Members may also book by phone or via WhatsApp. On arrival in Lewes we review your medical history, run any necessary tests or referrals swiftly, and agree a follow-up plan with you. If you live in Peacehaven, the short drive to Lewes is often quicker than long waits at local clinics.

When a private GP is the right alternative

Choose a private GP instead of waiting when you need prompt review of new symptoms, clarification of complex diagnoses, or continuity with a named doctor. For many Peacehaven patients this is the most efficient route for managing ongoing conditions while keeping their NHS registration.

Local detail: Peacehaven to Lewes

Peacehaven sits on the coast with strong commuter links into Lewes. Many patients tell us they prefer travelling to our Lewes clinic for a guaranteed appointment time rather than facing unpredictable waits locally. If you enjoy a sea view before your appointment, plan a short walk along the promenade — it’s one of the small benefits of choosing care that fits your schedule.

Costs and membership

We publish clear private GP fees and also offer membership options for people wanting routine, continuous care with the same named doctor. Members in Peacehaven benefit from priority booking and direct phone or WhatsApp access to their GP for quick advice between appointments.
