How Mayfield Clinic helps St John's Wood patients

If you're in St John's Wood and need urgent, non-emergency help, we provide same‑day GP appointments and immediate healthcare tailored to your needs. Our consultants see a wide range of urgent medical concerns: infections, minor injuries, sudden illnesses, medication issues and worrying new symptoms. You can read more about our local offering on our St John's Wood page: Mayfield Clinic — St John's Wood.

Typical urgent problems we treat

Our GPs manage urgent but non-life-threatening conditions such as respiratory or urinary infections, skin infections, suspected fractures or sprains, acute abdominal pain that does not indicate an emergency, severe sore throat, rapid onset rashes, allergic reactions that aren’t causing breathing difficulty, and medication problems. For anything suggesting a serious emergency — chest pain, severe shortness of breath, sudden weakness or loss of consciousness — call 999 or attend A&E.

What to expect at a same-day appointment

Appointments are practical and efficient. Expect a focused history, targeted examination and a clear plan: treatment started on the day, prescriptions issued electronically, and rapid tests or imaging arranged when needed. If specialist care is required, we arrange fast referrals and prioritise investigations so you’re not left waiting weeks. For St John's Wood patients referred to Hampstead, we coordinate the pathway so your care remains seamless.
