What Is a Private GP Consultation? A Patient Guide for Basingstoke

Access to fast, proactive healthcare is changing. In Basingstoke, many residents find their NHS GP is stretched thin—sometimes leaving you with limited choices, delayed appointments, or short consultations. Did you know: in some local surgeries, average wait times for a routine appointment can be nearly two weeks? But when health concerns can't wait, there's another option just a short drive away.

Private GP Consultations: What Does It Mean for Basingstoke Patients?

Imagine having a 30-minute appointment—sometimes even longer—with a highly experienced doctor, on a date and time that suits you. At Mayfield Clinic, private GP consultations offer just that, providing a truly comprehensive and personalised healthcare experience for patients in Basingstoke. Our nearby Newbury practice welcomes Basingstoke residents seeking prompt, thorough medical care.

What Happens in a Private GP Consultation?

Our private GP consultations go beyond the basics. You’ll speak with a doctor who takes the time to understand your concerns—whether you want a thorough health check, advice on a specific issue, or help managing ongoing conditions. Expect a full discussion, clinical examination if required, and access to private blood tests or investigations when needed. We also offer direct referrals to trusted specialists, and can provide private prescriptions on-site.

"Our appointments typically last 30 minutes, allowing you to dive into all your health concerns without rushing. Real answers, not just quick fixes."
