What is a Private GP Consultation? Cambridge Private Doctor Guide

Many Cambridge residents find themselves waiting weeks for NHS GP appointments, yet private GP consultations remain surprisingly misunderstood. The reality is simpler than you might think.

A private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic Cambridge operates much like your familiar NHS appointment, but with significant enhancements. You can discuss any health concern with our experienced private doctors, receive advice, reassurance, blood tests, investigations, and specialist referrals when necessary.

What Makes Private GP Consultations Different?

The fundamental difference lies in time and accessibility. Our Cambridge private GP consultations typically last 30 minutes – substantially longer than standard NHS appointments. This extended duration allows thorough discussion of multiple health concerns without feeling rushed.

Same-day availability is another key advantage. Our Cambridge-based GPs are generally available for urgent consultations, eliminating the frustration of waiting weeks for appointments. You can also book with the same GP consistently, building a meaningful doctor-patient relationship.
