Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

Routine screening finds risk factors in up to 50% of people who attend health checks. Short visits miss problems. Our private health checks give time, depth and follow-up so you act early rather than react later. If you live in St John's Wood and value fast access plus continuity with the same named doctor, this is designed for you.

Why private health checks matter for St John's Wood residents

Prevention beats delay. A single comprehensive assessment can uncover high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, early diabetes, or liver and kidney changes long before symptoms appear. For people in St John's Wood, Mayfield Clinic's preventive healthcare model offers extended consultations, thorough blood testing and a personalised plan — not a checklist delivered in ten rushed minutes.

Clinically, appointments for St John's Wood patients are delivered from our Hampstead practice; directions and details are available at our Hampstead page. It’s a short trip from St John's Wood — quick and straightforward.

"Comprehensive checks with continuity of care give you the best chance to stay well — we prioritise early detection and tailored follow-up."

What a Mayfield private health check includes

Every check is tailored, but a typical private health MOT includes: an extended consultation with a named doctor, full blood panel (lipids, HbA1c, liver, renal, thyroid and inflammatory markers), ECG where indicated, blood pressure and BMI assessment, prostate or women’s health tests on request, mental health screening and lifestyle review. We also use risk calculators for cardiovascular and diabetes risk so advice is specific and actionable.

Additional tests and options

Depending on your age, family history and symptoms we can add: advanced lipid testing, vitamin D and B12, PSA for men, CA125 for women where appropriate, urinalysis, and targeted screening for respiratory or liver disease. If an abnormality is found, we arrange prompt follow-up investigations or specialist referral.

Personalised plans, monitoring and continuity

After your assessment we provide a clear, written health plan: lifestyle changes with measurable goals, a schedule for repeat testing, and where appropriate, prescriptions or referrals. Patients from St John's Wood are offered continuity with the same named doctor to build long-term oversight — essential when you’re targeting risk reduction rather than episodic care.

How to prepare and what to expect

Preparation is simple. Bring a list of medications, recent hospital letters and any family history of early heart disease, stroke, diabetes or cancer. Where fasting blood tests are needed we’ll tell you beforehand. Expect a longer consultation than a standard NHS check — we take the time to discuss results and set realistic next steps.
