What Is a Private GP Consultation? Haywards Heath’s Guide to Private Care

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Struggling to get a timely appointment with your local NHS GP in Haywards Heath? You’re far from alone. Recent studies show that average waits for non-urgent GP appointments in West Sussex regularly exceed a week. But what if you could see a doctor the same day, spend half an hour discussing every concern, and return to the same GP each time? This is the premium experience patients from Haywards Heath discover with private GP consultations at Mayfield Clinic Horsham.

Private GP Consultation Explained: What to Expect

A private GP consultation mirrors the core of a standard NHS GP appointment – your health, your concerns, your questions. The difference? At Mayfield Clinic, appointments last 30 minutes by default and can be extended. You’re afforded unhurried, tailored time with a highly skilled private doctor, ensuring nothing gets missed. Whether you’re worried about a persistent cough, need a private blood test, or are seeking advice for a chronic health condition, everything is handled with precision and empathy.

“Patients in Haywards Heath can access thorough, same-day GP appointments at Mayfield Clinic Horsham, backed by a seamless online booking process and direct lines for members.”
