What Is a Private GP Consultation? Guide for Guildford Patients

Private GP consultations are becoming an essential part of healthcare choices in Guildford. In fact, recent surveys show over 55% of UK patients want more flexibility and continuity when seeing their GP. The Mayfield Clinic brings this advantage to Guildford, with tailored appointments delivered from our nearby Godalming practice. Our approach prioritises time, access, and the comfort of seeing the same trusted doctor—something our Guildford patients truly value.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

At its core, a private GP consultation offers a similar service to what you’d expect from an NHS GP. You book an appointment to discuss any health concern, receive advice, get referrals or blood tests, and, if appropriate, obtain a private prescription. What sets a private consultation apart—especially at Mayfield Clinic—is the philosophy of time and access: our standard appointments run for 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time for a thorough, unhurried assessment. Appointments are easy to book online, and Members can use our direct phone or WhatsApp line for even faster service.
