What Is a Private GP Consultation? A Patient Guide for Amersham Residents

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Amersham’s population has risen by over 10% in the last decade, placing growing demand on local NHS GP services. Yet, health concerns don’t wait for waiting lists. More people in Amersham are choosing private GP consultations for faster, more personalised medical care—often being seen the same day, with time to truly discuss their concerns.

Private GP Consultations Explained: The Mayfield Clinic Approach

A private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic works much like seeing your NHS doctor, but with a premium, patient-focused twist. Feel free to bring up any health issue: aches, persistent symptoms, worries, or health checks. Your private GP will listen, investigate, and act. That means providing medical advice, organising private prescriptions, arranging blood tests, and—if necessary—making specialist referrals straight from your consultation.

Appointments with us typically last 30 minutes, giving you the opportunity to raise multiple concerns without feeling hurried. Of course, you can always book a longer session if you need it.

Why Amersham Residents Are Seeking Private GP Consultations

Travel between Amersham and Beaconsfield is quick—just 15 minutes by car or a short train ride. Our Beaconsfield practice (find directions here) is designed for comfort, calm, and privacy. This location is popular with patients from Amersham seeking reduced wait times, after-work appointments, and a chance to see the same trusted doctor at each visit.

Our team of GPs maintain thorough records for every patient, making it easy to pick up where you left off—something that isn’t always possible in traditional NHS settings. Amersham families benefit from truly personalised care, detailed medical checks, and the reassurance that comes with easier access to your doctor.

What to Expect During Your Private GP Consultation
