Fast private GP care for urgent medical concerns in Letchworth Garden City

Many people need medical attention the same day — and waiting several days can increase the risk of complications for infections and some injuries. If you live in Letchworth Garden City and need prompt, professional assessment without the long waits, Mayfield Clinic offers urgent private GP appointments that get you seen quickly and treated effectively.

What counts as urgent but non-emergency?

Urgent private GP Letchworth Garden City appointments are for problems that need same-day assessment but are not life‑threatening. Examples include suspected infections (urinary, chest, skin), sudden fevers, minor head injuries, sprains and strains, uncontrolled pain, acute medication reactions, and new worrying symptoms such as unexplained lumps or sudden breathlessness that is not severe. If you suspect a heart attack, stroke or severe trauma, call 999 or attend A&E.

How Mayfield Clinic helps patients from Letchworth Garden City

Although our consultations for Letchworth Garden City residents take place at our nearby practice in Hitchin (around a 10–15 minute drive from Letchworth), we focus on delivering immediate healthcare Letchworth Garden City patients can rely on. We offer same day GP Letchworth Garden City slots, clear examination, and prompt tests or referrals when needed. That fast response reduces anxiety and gets treatment started sooner.

What to expect at a same-day appointment

Appointments are thorough but efficient. A GP will take your history, examine you, arrange any urgent tests (bloods, swabs, imaging) and start treatment. If you need specialist review, we can arrange rapid private referrals. We also provide same-day prescriptions, fit notes and targeted procedures like wound care or injections when clinically appropriate.

Continuity matters: our aim is for you to see the same named GP where possible, so follow-up is seamless and decisions are consistent.

Choosing private urgent care versus A&E

Use private urgent GP services when your condition needs quick attention but isn’t life‑threatening. For example, a worsening urine infection, a painful swollen ankle after a fall, or sudden severe sore throat are ideal reasons for an urgent private GP Letchworth Garden City appointment. If symptoms suggest immediate danger (loss of consciousness, severe chest pain, major bleeding, breeding difficulty breathing), head to A&E or call 999.
