Private health checks and preventive care in Claydon

Prevention beats cure.At Mayfield Clinic we offer private health checks in Claydon designed to detect risk early, keep you functioning at your best and avoid unnecessary illness later. Our appointments are longer than standard NHS checks, allowing time to explore medical history, lifestyle and family risk so we can build a practical, personalised plan.

Fast access, same named doctor

We know access matters.Patients from Claydon are seen quickly at our Ipswich practice — book online via the Book now button — and where possible you’ll see the same named doctor for continuity. Consistent care improves diagnosis, medication reviews and long-term monitoring, especially for chronic conditions or when small changes need prompt attention.

What a Mayfield private health MOT includes

Our comprehensive health assessment goes beyond a basic check. Options include a detailed physical exam, extended consultation time, and tailored blood tests to assess cholesterol, diabetes markers, thyroid function, liver and kidney health, full blood count and inflammatory markers. We also offer cardiovascular risk scoring, blood pressure monitoring and targeted screening based on age, sex and family history.

Why preventive healthcare in Claydon makes sense

Preventive medicine reduces the chance of emergency care and long-term complications. For example, identifying pre-diabetes with a targeted HbA1c test allows dietary and activity changes that commonly prevent progression. Catching atrial fibrillation early through monitoring can reduce stroke risk. These are measurable gains for people living in and around Claydon who want to stay active and working.

Personalised follow-up and lifestyle plans

After your assessment we provide a written health plan: clear next steps, lifestyle targets, and any referral or repeat testing schedule. Plans are realistic and focused on small, achievable changes — such as a 10% reduction in weight or a weekly walking target — that have outsized health benefits. We support follow-up by phone, WhatsApp for members, and repeat in-clinic checks at our Ipswich location when required.

Screening tailored to you

Not everyone needs the same tests. We tailor screening to age, gender, family history and occupation. Younger patients may focus on reproductive health, mental wellbeing and early metabolic markers. Middle-aged patients often benefit from full cardiovascular and metabolic screening. Older adults receive targeted cancer screening updates, bone health advice and cognitive baseline checks where appropriate.

How it works for Claydon patients

Although we promote services for Claydon residents, appointments take place at our Ipswich practice (Ipswich clinic). To get started visit our Claydon location page (Mayfield Clinic — Claydon) for directions and local guidance. Book online using the Book now button. Members may also book directly by phone or via WhatsApp for quickest scheduling.

“A health check is an investment. Catching a problem early often means simpler treatment, faster recovery and less disruption to your life.”

Unique local note

Claydon is small but active — many residents cycle or walk the lanes into Ipswich. We often advise pragmatic plans that fit local life: brisk countryside walks, realistic gym alternatives and dietary changes that suit Suffolk produce and local markets.

When to book a private health check

If you’re changing medication, approaching milestone birthdays (40, 50, 60+), have a family history of heart disease, diabetes or cancer, or simply want a baseline for future health, arrange a private health MOT. Early detection gives you choices, not panic.
