What is a Private GP Consultation in Hatfield - A Simple Guide

Private GP

18/07/2025 by Dr Antony Malloy

Introduction

Many people in the UK contend with wait times that can stretch to two weeks or even longer for routine GP appointments. If you’re based in Hatfield and looking to cut the delays, you might consider a private GP consultation. It’s a chance to enjoy longer appointment slots, same-day availability and continuity with a dedicated doctor. Hatfield’s storied aviation heritage and local greenery mean you’re likely busy enough, so why let health concerns pile up?

What Makes a Private GP Consultation Different?

A private consultation mirrors an NHS GP appointment in many ways: you discuss concerns, get medical advice, and if needed, referrals or prescriptions. The distinction is time. We at Mayfield Clinic typically give patients 30 minutes or more. Fitting multiple concerns into one session becomes simpler, and there’s far greater opportunity to build rapport with a familiar doctor.

Besides, if your health issue calls for specialist care, our doctors can either make a private referral or send you back into the NHS. We also manage private prescriptions. To see how this works, head to our Prescriptions page. Our ethos is about delivering a premium experience while remaining flexible.

Extended Appointments and Same-Day Access

Private appointments at our clinic commonly run 30 minutes or more. You can also book extra time if desired. When you live in Hatfield, quick service can be crucial, which is why we strive to offer same-day availability. We invite you to review our Accessing Mayfield Clinic’s Services page for easy online booking. Our Book now button is always ready for those who prefer fast scheduling.

We welcome patients from Hatfield at our St Albans practice, which is a short journey away. You can learn more about visiting us there by checking out our St Albans location. Even if you’re busy exploring Hatfield’s local gems, getting to a dedicated and comprehensive consultation shouldn’t be a hassle.

Continuity and Membership

Patients interested in regular check-ups and thorough healthcare often opt for our Membership scheme. You pay a monthly fee to secure a set number of consultations each year, which ensures your care is consistent. Membership also grants swift booking via phone or WhatsApp, plus the option to see the same GP repeatedly. If you’d like to decide whether this is right for you, head to our Membership page. We believe it’s the ideal way to keep your health on track without jumping through hoops.
