Private GP Health Screenings & MOTs — Royston to Cambridge Care

Introduction

Around one third of adults are living with an undiagnosed long-term condition. Short appointment slots don’t always catch early warning signs. At Mayfield Clinic we offer a different approach: a private GP health screening or MOT that gives time, clarity and a tailored plan. If you live in Royston and want fast access to the same named GP, our service is designed for you. Patients from Royston are seen at our Cambridge clinic; you can find our Royston information here and details of the Cambridge practice here.

What is a Private GP Health Screening or MOT?

A private GP health check — sometimes called a private health screening or private GP MOT — is a structured, proactive review of your health. It isn’t a rushed problem-solving appointment. It’s a 45-minute consultation with a GP, extensive blood testing (Well Man or Well Woman panel), stool and urine samples, and a lifestyle consultation to create a personalised plan. For many Royston patients this is the most thorough full body check up UK options outside NHS waiting times.

What happens during your appointment?

Our standard annual health check is comprehensive and tailored. Typical elements include:

• 45-minute consultation with a named GP who reviews your lifestyle and family history;
• Full physical examination and targeted screening for risk factors;
• Blood tests covering kidney and liver function, cholesterol, bone markers, HbA1c and glucose control;
• Stool and urine samples as standard;
• Additional tests when needed: ECG, stress ECG, echocardiogram, chest X-ray, smear test, mammogram referral, lung function and hearing checks.

Why choose a private GP MOT in Royston?

Fast access. Continued care with the same named doctor. Those are the two pillars of our offering. We know Royston residents value local relationships and prompt appointments. Although consultations are delivered at our Cambridge clinic, it’s just a short trip from Royston and many patients prefer the predictability of seeing the same GP each year.

"A single, structured appointment can spot trends and prevent small problems becoming big ones."

How we assess future risk

Our tests are selected to predict risk of common long-term conditions such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes. Results are not delivered as isolated numbers. Your GP interprets your data in the context of your family history, medications and lifestyle. From there we build a clear plan: medication review, targeted referrals, tailored lifestyle goals and a schedule for repeat monitoring.

Preparing for your health screening

To make the most of your appointment:

• Bring a list of current medications and any recent hospital letters;
• Fast for 8–12 hours before blood tests if advised;
• Note any family history of heart disease, stroke, diabetes or cancers;
• Write down symptoms or concerns you want to discuss—small details matter.

Timing and results

Most blood results return within 48–72 hours. Your GP will contact you to explain clinical significance and next steps. Some investigations, such as echocardiograms or mammograms, can be arranged within days when clinically indicated. We prioritise Royston patients for fast onward investigations at our Cambridge clinic whenever possible.

Extra investigations — when they’re useful

Not every patient needs every test. We’ll personalise which additional investigations are appropriate. Examples include:

• ECG or stress ECG for chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations;
• Echocardiogram where structural heart disease is suspected;
• Imaging such as chest X-ray for persistent cough or breathlessness;
• Smear tests and mammograms following screening guidelines and individual risk.

Local note for Royston residents

Royston sits on the edge of Cambridgeshire but has its own distinct community spirit: the market on Melbourn Street and the curious Royston Cave are part of local life. Many people from Royston choose the quick journey to Cambridge for a longer, uninterrupted appointment and the benefit of continuity with the same named GP at Mayfield Clinic.
