Private GP

20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

Early detection can reduce the risk of advanced disease by around 30%.If you live in Buckhurst Hill and want to stay ahead of health problems, a private health check with Mayfield Clinic gives you more time, more tests and a personalised plan that fits your life.Our private health checks in Buckhurst Hill are designed to spot issues before they escalate — and to help you keep well, rather than just treating illness.

What is a private health check at Mayfield Clinic?

Our private health checks are comprehensive assessments led by a named GP who knows your history and tailors care to you.Each appointment in Buckhurst Hill patients is longer than a typical NHS check, allowing for in-depth discussion, a full clinical examination and a broader panel of blood tests.We call it a Private Health MOT — a thorough health review that covers cardiovascular risk, diabetes screening, liver and kidney function, thyroid checks, and targeted tests based on age, family history and lifestyle.

How preventive care works with us

Preventive healthcare in Buckhurst Hill at Mayfield Clinic follows three clear steps: screening, interpretation and personalised action.First we screen — comprehensive bloods, blood pressure, BMI and, where indicated, ECG or urine tests.Then we interpret — your named GP explains findings in plain language and ranks risk factors.Finally we act — a bespoke health plan with lifestyle advice, monitoring schedules and early interventions when needed.

Why choose private screening over standard NHS checks?

Private health screening in Buckhurst Hill gives you faster access to doctors and continuity with the same GP at each visit.Your appointment is longer so subtle issues aren’t rushed.Your blood tests are more extensive and results are used to create actionable plans rather than one-off results.We also offer direct referrals for imaging or specialist review if concerns arise — cutting weeks or months off waiting times.

Sample private health check pathway

1) Pre-appointment questionnaire to capture family history and risk factors.2) 45–60 minute consultation with your named GP.3) Comprehensive blood panel and any additional tests (ECG, urine, allergy screens).4) Same-week review of results and a personalised health plan.5) Follow-up, monitoring and lifestyle support via phone or repeat appointments.

What we test and why
