What Is a Private GP Consultation? Your Clevedon Guide to Premium GP Care

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Across Clevedon and the wider North Somerset area, quick and seamless access to a trusted GP can be a challenge. With NHS GP waiting times currently averaging over a week for routine appointments, many Clevedon residents are seeking reliable alternatives. That's where private GP consultations with Mayfield Clinic step in: offering you same-day appointments, longer consultations, and continuity with a named doctor—just a short journey away at our Bristol practice.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

In essence, a private GP consultation functions in a similar way to seeing your local NHS GP. You’ll sit down with a highly trained private doctor, discuss any physical or mental health concern, and walk away with practical advice or a plan for further investigation. At Mayfield Clinic Clevedon, your appointment is never rushed: most consultations last 30 minutes, and you can book longer slots if you wish.

Same-Day Appointments—No Need to Wait

Sometimes, waiting days or weeks just isn't an option. Mayfield Clinic patients in Clevedon can book online for a same-day private GP consultation at our Bristol practice (find us here). For those who use our service regularly, our Membership scheme means you’ll enjoy priority booking via phone or WhatsApp, with your own electronic patient record held securely at our clinic.

The Benefits of a Private GP Consultation

Why consider a private GP consultation over a traditional NHS GP visit? Here are some key advantages, particularly for Clevedon residents:

“Many patients in Clevedon value the peace of mind that comes from longer, unhurried consultations. Our private GP services ensure concerns are listened to fully and followed up with tailored care.”

What to Expect: The Mayfield Clinic Experience

From booking your appointment to walking out the door, the Mayfield Clinic experience is designed for comfort, efficiency, and thorough care. Once you arrive at our Bristol practice, your private GP will take the time to understand your history, lifestyle, and concerns. This may involve a detailed examination, blood tests, or referrals—all without the usual wait. Every step is guided by our private GP philosophy.

You can book a private GP consultation online in just a few clicks. Members benefit from even greater convenience and support through dedicated phone and WhatsApp lines. Find out if Membership is right for you here.

How Does a Private GP Consultation Differ from the NHS?

The key difference lies in time, access, and choice. NHS GPs in Clevedon do an outstanding job under pressure, but their appointment times are restricted and continuity is rarely guaranteed. With Mayfield Clinic, Clevedon residents receive comprehensive private GP consultations tailored precisely to their needs, plus access to the same GP at each visit. If you need a private prescription or wish to transition your care back to the NHS, we support you at every stage.
