Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Finding a GP appointment close to Crediton can be frustrating, especially if you're seeking continuity, same-day access, or a little extra time to talk through your health concerns. More people are turning to private GP consultations as a solution—and for good reason.

A surprising 45% of patients in Devon report difficulty in securing same-week GP appointments. At Mayfield Clinic, our approach in Crediton and the surrounding areas is designed for those who value quick access, longer discussions, and high-quality private GP care.

What Makes Private GP Consultations Different?

While an NHS GP consultation does its best within tight pressures, a private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic—delivered from our Exeter clinic for patients from Crediton—offers notable advantages. Our appointments typically last 30 minutes, double that of the NHS average, giving you the space for a thorough review of your symptoms, question sessions, and careful explanation of next steps. If you need longer, it’s simple to book more time online (see how here).

“Our patients from Crediton tell us what a relief it is to finally find continuity with a named, trusted GP—something that feels impossible in today's NHS.”
