Private GP alternative to the NHS in Maida Vale: Faster, personalised care

An NHS alternative when waiting lists are too long

Long wait times for routine appointments leave many Maida Vale residents seeking an alternative. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP care with same-day or next-day availability, longer consultations and continuity with a named doctor—so you get straight answers, not a hurried appointment.

How our private GP service in Maida Vale works

You can use Mayfield Clinic as a private GP instead of the NHS for specific needs without leaving your NHS registration. Book online via the Book now button. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp for direct, faster scheduling. Although our Maida Vale service is provided from our nearby St John's Wood practice, patients from Maida Vale are welcome and prioritised; see our Maida Vale page here and confirm your appointment location at St John's Wood here.

Faster access when time matters

Private doctor appointments reduce waiting times for urgent issues, investigations and second opinions. If NHS waiting times are delaying diagnosis or treatment, our private GP service in Maida Vale provides a quick GP alternative with access to investigations and same named clinician follow-up.

Longer, personalised consultations

Typical NHS GP slots are brief. Our consultations give you more time to explain symptoms, go through options and plan follow-ups. That continuity—seeing the same doctor—improves outcomes and prevents repeated retelling of your history.

When to choose a private GP alternative in Maida Vale

• Urgent, non-life‑threatening problems needing rapid review or tests
• Complex chronic disease reviews where longer appointments are beneficial
• Second opinions on diagnoses or medication changes
• Concise access to private investigations that might otherwise take weeks

You do not have to deregister from the NHS to use Mayfield Clinic as a private GP in Maida Vale. We send summaries to your NHS GP when needed and can coordinate care to avoid duplication. Many patients use private GP appointments for speed while maintaining NHS relationships for ongoing or emergency care.
