What Is a Private GP Consultation? Explore Premium Care in Orpington

Private GP

28/08/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

One in four people in the UK wait over a week for a GP appointment. This delay can increase stress and prolong discomfort. Here in Orpington, we believe patients deserve immediate attention and personalised care — without the queues. That’s where a private GP consultation comes in.

Unravelling the Essentials of a Private GP Consultation

Much like your appointment with an NHS GP, a private GP consultation covers every health concern on your mind. However, our clinic offers 30-minute appointment slots so you can address multiple issues in a single visit. Our private GP philosophy focuses on thorough assessments, specialist referrals when required, and options to manage ongoing healthcare. If you live in Orpington, our practice is easily accessed from our nearby Sevenoaks location.

Flexibility and Swift Access

Many Orpington residents face wait times for their regular NHS appointments and struggle to see the same doctor consistently. At Mayfield Clinic, you can book online right away using our ‘Book Now’ button, ensuring a same-day or next-day schedule when needed. Our GPs work closely with patients for ongoing care, so you can reconnect with the same named doctor who understands your health history.

Prescriptions, Referrals, and More

Appointments are often about reassurance. If you have complex issues, we offer blood tests and can arrange referrals to specialists. When it comes to medication, you can either choose a private prescription or revert to the NHS. We also maintain strong relationships with trusted specialists for those who need more intensive treatment. If you’re curious how referrals work, do take a look at our referrals guide.
