Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

One in four adults in the UK will develop a preventable chronic condition by age 65. Yet most people only see their GP when something goes wrong. Private health screenings flip this reactive approach on its head.

At Mayfield Clinic Edinburgh, our comprehensive health MOTs give you the complete picture of your wellbeing before problems develop. Think of it as an annual service for your body.

What Are Private GP Health Screenings?

Private health screenings are thorough medical assessments that evaluate your current health status and identify potential risks before they become serious conditions. Unlike standard NHS check-ups, our private GP health checks in Edinburgh provide extensive testing and dedicated time with experienced doctors.

Our approach goes beyond basic measurements. We investigate your family history, lifestyle factors, and conduct comprehensive laboratory testing to predict your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney problems.

The Mayfield Health MOT Experience

Your health screening appointment in Edinburgh includes a 45-minute consultation with one of our experienced GPs. This extended appointment time allows for thorough discussion of your health concerns and goals.

During your visit, we'll conduct a complete physical examination and arrange comprehensive blood testing. Our Well Man and Well Woman panels assess kidney function, liver health, cholesterol levels, bone density, cardiac markers, and glucose control.

"Regular health screenings allow us to catch potential issues early and develop personalised prevention strategies for each patient."

Additional investigations available at our Edinburgh clinic include ECGs, stress testing, echocardiograms, chest X-rays, and lung function assessments. We tailor each screening package to your individual risk factors and health priorities.

Why Choose Private Health Screening in Edinburgh?

Access matters when it comes to your health. Our Edinburgh patients benefit from same-day and next-day appointments, eliminating the waiting times typical of NHS services. You'll see the same named GP for continuity of care, building a relationship that enhances your long-term health outcomes.

The convenience of central Edinburgh location means busy professionals can easily fit comprehensive health assessments into their schedules. Our clinic operates extended hours to accommodate working patterns.

Beyond Basic Testing

Standard health checks often miss crucial indicators. Our private GP MOT includes stool and urine analysis alongside extensive blood work. This comprehensive approach identifies issues like inflammatory bowel conditions, kidney problems, and metabolic disorders that basic screenings overlook.

Following your assessment, you'll receive a detailed health report with personalised recommendations. Our GPs don't just identify problems – they work with you to develop actionable health improvement plans.

Preventive Healthcare That Works

Regular health screenings represent investment in your future wellbeing. Early detection of conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease allows for intervention before symptoms develop.

Our Edinburgh patients report greater peace of mind knowing they're monitoring their health proactively. Many discover treatable conditions years before they would have caused symptoms.
