Three out of four people in the UK wait over two weeks to see their NHS GP. For St Albans residents seeking faster, more personalised healthcare, private GP services offer a compelling alternative that puts you back in control of your health journey.
At Mayfield Clinic, our private GPs provide comprehensive healthcare services that mirror and often exceed what you'd expect from your NHS practice. The key difference? You get the care you need, when you need it, with the same trusted doctor each time.
Private GP treatments explained simply: we handle virtually everything your NHS doctor would, but with added convenience and continuity. Our St Albans patients benefit from comprehensive care from a private GP that includes:
Same-day consultations for urgent health concerns, minor injuries, and acute illnesses. Whether you're dealing with a chest infection, skin condition, or concerning symptoms, our private GP for urgent care ensures you're seen promptly.
Preventative healthcare and health checks form the cornerstone of our approach. Our private GP for health checks service includes annual medicals, cardiovascular screening, and wellness assessments tailored to your age and risk factors.
Chronic disease management receives particular attention in our St Albans practice. Our private GP for chronic conditions service helps patients with diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and other long-term health issues maintain optimal control through regular monitoring and personalised treatment plans.

When specialist input is needed, our private GP for referrals service streamlines the process significantly. We maintain relationships with leading consultants across London and the South East, ensuring our St Albans patients receive rapid access to expert care.
