What a Private GP Can Help With in Newmarket: Fast, Personal Care

Private GP

28/08/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

What can a private GP help with in Newmarket?

Fast access to a trusted clinician makes a tangible difference. Recent experience in primary care shows patients value same-day appointments and continuity with the same named doctor — two strengths of private GP services. If you live in Newmarket and need prompt, personalised care, our team is set up to help, and appointments are booked online via the Book now button.

Everyday problems, handled quickly

Private GPs at Mayfield Clinic offer support for the sorts of issues your NHS GP would manage — and often more quickly. From reassurance and practical advice to treatment for minor injuries, our GPs can see sore throats, ear infections, minor wounds, skin rashes and musculoskeletal strains. For a clear list of what we commonly help with, see What our GPs can help with.

Investigations and diagnostic tests

If you need investigations, private access often shortens waits. We arrange blood tests, imaging such as MRI or ultrasound, ECGs and other diagnostics. That speed matters if you live in Newmarket but are seen at our nearby Cambridge practice — tests can be organised quickly and results discussed with the same GP.

Referrals and second opinions

Our GPs write clear referral letters to specialists when required and can arrange expedited pathways for urgent concerns. For details on how we make referrals and refer into secondary care, visit our referrals page. If you want a second opinion or an alternative view on diagnosis or treatment, a private GP can review records and coordinate the next steps.

Medication, prescriptions and same-day needs

We provide private prescriptions and can often organise same-day prescriptions for acute issues. For information about how we prescribe privately, see How we prescribe. Members of Mayfield Clinic in Newmarket can book by phone or WhatsApp, but everyone can book appointments online using the Book now button.

Health checks, screening and preventive care

Private GPs offer tailored health checks and screening packages, ideal for people who want proactive care. From cardiovascular risk assessments to women's and men's health checks, personalised screening helps spot problems earlier. If you’re based in Newmarket and prefer continuity, our membership option provides regular reviews with the same named doctor — see Membership for details.

Mental health support and long-term conditions

Private GPs can support mental health concerns, coordinate care with therapists or psychiatrists, and manage long-term conditions like diabetes, hypertension or asthma. Continuity with a single GP helps with medication reviews, monitoring and lifestyle advice — all delivered with the time needed for meaningful discussion.

Travel and vaccinations

Need travel vaccinations before a trip from Newmarket? Private GPs can provide travel advice and the appropriate immunisations swiftly so you’re ready to go. This is a common and useful service for families and professionals who travel frequently.

Quick access plus continuity: a private GP can give same-day practical care and ongoing, personalised support — particularly valuable for Newmarket residents who commute or work flexible hours.
