Private GP Alternative to NHS in West Hampstead | Mayfield Clinic

Fast, personal GP care for West Hampstead when the NHS wait is too long

Almost half of adults say quicker access to a doctor is their top priority when they are unwell. If you live in West Hampstead and the NHS waiting times are slowing you down, Mayfield Clinic offers a dependable private GP alternative designed around speed, continuity and clear NHS collaboration.

Why choose a private GP alternative in West Hampstead?

Long waits and rushed appointments are the reasons many people search for a Private GP instead of NHS care. At Mayfield Clinic we provide immediate availability for urgent problems, longer consultations when you need them and continuity with the same named doctor so your care is consistent. We treat West Hampstead patients who want timely, high-quality general practice without leaving the NHS behind.

How our service works for West Hampstead residents

We make it simple. Book online using the Book now button on our West Hampstead location page. Appointments are usually available sooner than typical NHS waits; you can request same-day or next-day slots for urgent issues. If you prefer, members can book directly by phone or via WhatsApp for faster access.

Continuity of care — the same doctor each time

Seeing the same doctor matters. Our private GP model prioritises named-doctor continuity so your consultations build on previous visits. That continuity is particularly valuable when managing long-term conditions, medication reviews or complex problems where a deeper, ongoing relationship improves outcomes.

We can work with your NHS records

Using a private doctor doesn’t mean losing touch with NHS services. We can communicate with your NHS GP, share clinical letters and coordinate referrals when necessary. Many West Hampstead patients come to us for a second opinion, quicker investigations or when NHS waiting times for tests and specialist clinics are prohibitive.

What we treat — practical examples

Common reasons West Hampstead patients choose us include: urgent respiratory or infection advice, rapid blood tests and results interpretation, ongoing chronic disease reviews (asthma, diabetes, hypertension), mental health medication reviews, and second opinions before a hospital referral. For anything needing specialist input, we help navigate faster private or NHS pathways.
