Surveys show more than half of patients place greater value on fast access and seeing the same doctor for ongoing care. If you're in Huntingdon and wondering what a private GP can do for you, this guide explains practical, everyday ways a private GP supports health — from same-day prescriptions to tailored annual health checks. Huntingdon sits close to Cambridge, and our local patients are seen at our Cambridge practice; that connection gives you rapid access to diagnostics and continuity of care without long waits.
At Mayfield Clinic our private GPs can help with almost any common healthcare issue your NHS GP would manage. For a concise list, see What our GPs can help with.
