Looking for a thorough, convenient way to see a doctor in Portslade? You’re in the right place. Our private GP consultations at Mayfield Clinic offer clients the perfect blend of flexibility, extended appointment times, and continuity of care. Many individuals in Portslade and surrounding areas find that having 30-minute (or even longer) appointments allows for more attentive, proactive healthcare. No rushed conversations, no half-answered questions.

Personalised Time with Your Doctor

At Mayfield Clinic, our approach centres on giving every patient ample time. That’s why our standard private GP appointments last 30 minutes, giving you the freedom to discuss multiple health concerns in detail. If needed, you can book longer. This approach differs significantly from typical NHS appointments, where time can often feel tight. Whether you’re seeking a comprehensive check-up or need swift attention for an acute issue, our private GP consultations provide a relaxed atmosphere and same-day availability.

Our Location for Portslade Patients

Although we serve Portslade patients, our modern facility is located in Hove, just a quick journey away.

You’ll discover how easy it is to book an appointment and experience the benefits of private GP care firsthand. Having the extra personal touch is often what makes the difference, and we’re committed to making your journey from Portslade to Hove as convenient as possible.

“Extended consultations provide the space and time to ask questions, understand your health status fully, and build a real relationship with your GP.”

What to Expect During a Mayfield Clinic Private GP Consultation

Our private GPs can handle the same range of health issues as an NHS GP, offering advice, physical examinations, blood tests, diagnostic investigations, and referrals to trusted specialists. Should you need medication, we can provide a private prescription, or if you prefer, refer you back to the NHS. For a deeper look at how we prescribe, take a look at our dedicated prescriptions page. Our private GP philosophy, available for you to read here, tells you exactly what to expect from our service.
