Private GP

26/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Imagine having a full 30 minutes to discuss your health concerns, with a trusted doctor who remembers your story. This is what a private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic offers, now available for patients in Topsham and the surrounding area.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is a comprehensive appointment with an experienced general practitioner, independent of the NHS. At Mayfield Clinic, our private GP consultations are held in our Exeter clinic, just a short journey from Topsham (learn more about our Exeter location). Patients in Topsham benefit from longer consultation times, rapid access to high-quality private GP care, and the flexibility to develop an ongoing relationship with the same named doctor – something that can be rare in standard NHS bookings.

What Can I Discuss in a Private GP Consultation?

You can raise any health concern during your time with us. Whether you’re seeking medical advice, need reassurance, require blood tests, or want specialist referrals, our clinicians are here to help. If you need a prescription, our GPs can issue private prescriptions – and if you’d prefer, we're equally happy to refer you back into NHS care for ongoing needs. Read more about how referrals work at Mayfield Clinic and see how our patients benefit from a joined-up approach to healthcare.
