Urgent private GP care in Shefford

Many local patients face waits of several days for NHS appointments. If you need prompt medical attention that isn't a 999 emergency, Mayfield Clinic offers fast, same-day private GP appointments for Shefford residents — with the reassurance of seeing the same named doctor where possible.

We serve Shefford from our nearby Hitchin practice. Patients from Shefford are usually seen at our Hitchin clinic (around a 20-minute drive), ensuring rapid assessment and follow-up. Book online using the Book now button; members may call or message via WhatsApp to arrange their visit.

When to contact us

Contact Mayfield Clinic for urgent but non-emergency issues: new infections, minor injuries, sudden fevers, worrying symptoms, medication problems or a flare-up of a chronic condition. If you are unsure whether your problem is an emergency, call 999. For urgent private GP Shefford help, our team will assess you quickly and advise the right next steps.

What our GPs treat

Our clinicians assess and treat a wide range of urgent conditions including respiratory and urinary infections, skin infections, sprains and suspected minor fractures, acute but non-life-threatening abdominal pain, allergic reactions not causing breathing difficulty, and acute medication issues. We can issue same‑day prescriptions, arrange rapid blood tests or imaging, and organise prompt specialist referrals when needed.

How your appointment works

Same day GP Shefford appointments begin with a focused clinical assessment. Depending on findings, treatment may be provided in clinic, a prescription issued, or rapid investigations ordered. We prioritise continuity: where possible we will book follow-up with the same named GP so your care is consistent and efficient.
