Over 6.8 million people in the UK are currently on NHS waiting lists. For residents in Tunbridge Wells seeking immediate, comprehensive healthcare, private GP consultations offer a compelling alternative that combines the familiarity of traditional general practice with premium service standards.
A private GP consultation mirrors the structure of an NHS appointment but with significant enhancements. You'll discuss health concerns with qualified doctors, receive clinical advice, and access prescriptions or referrals as needed. The fundamental difference lies in the service delivery.
At Mayfield Clinic in Tunbridge Wells, our private GP consultations typically last 30 minutes - double the NHS average. This extended timeframe allows for thorough discussions about multiple health concerns without the pressure of rushed appointments.
Your consultation begins the moment you book. Unlike NHS services, you can often secure same-day appointments and choose your preferred doctor consistently. This continuity of care means your chosen GP develops a comprehensive understanding of your medical history and health goals.
"The ability to spend quality time with each patient and maintain ongoing relationships is what makes private general practice so rewarding," notes one of our senior clinicians.
During your appointment, expect a comprehensive private GP consultation that covers:
The advantages of private GP care extend beyond appointment length. Patients in Tunbridge Wells benefit from:

Build relationships with your chosen doctor. This consistency allows for personalised private GP consultations tailored to your individual health profile and preferences.
From routine health checks to complex symptom investigation, our thorough GP consultations address your complete healthcare needs. We can arrange private prescriptions or facilitate NHS referrals based on your preference.
While both provide medical care, the differences between private and NHS GP consultations are substantial:
