Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

If you live in Aldershot and have ever found yourself frustrated by long GP waiting times or rushed appointments, you’re not alone. In a recent national patient survey, over half of UK respondents reported feeling they didn’t get enough time with their GP. At Mayfield Clinic, we believe your health deserves undivided attention—not the feeling of being hurried through the system.

Private GP Consultations Explained: The Mayfield Approach for Aldershot Patients

So, what is a private GP consultation? In essence, it’s a personalised medical appointment with a fully qualified doctor, similar to your NHS experience—but with enhanced convenience, thoroughness, and flexibility. When you book a private GP appointment as an Aldershot resident, you will be seen at our high-quality Farnham clinic, just a short journey away.

What to Expect from Your Consultation

Appointments at Mayfield Clinic are typically 30 minutes long, giving you the opportunity to raise any health concern—big or small. It’s not uncommon for our patients to come in with a list of worries, knowing there’s enough time to discuss them all. If you need longer, you can choose to book extended consultations. Our clinicians listen, advise, and carry out any necessary investigations like blood tests, arrange for scans, provide guidance, and offer private prescriptions. And if specialist referral is needed, we’ll manage that process swiftly—learn more about our referral process here.

The luxury of time with your doctor shouldn’t be exclusive—it should be a standard. Our private GP consultations in Aldershot (delivered in Farnham) are designed so you never feel rushed, and always feel heard.

Why Choose a Private GP Consultation?

Private GP Consultation vs NHS: What’s the Difference?

While NHS GPs provide vital care, increasing pressure on services means shorter appointments and less flexibility. Our philosophy is different: extended time with your doctor, the ability for you to choose your GP, and the flexibility to book when you need care.

Some Aldershot patients choose our Membership option, which includes a set number of appointments for a monthly fee. You’ll enjoy priority booking and your own dedicated line for appointments and queries. Find out why many believe our Membership model works best for proactive patients.
