Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Two-thirds of UK adults have waited over two weeks for a routine GP appointment in the past year. For residents in Ealing seeking immediate, comprehensive healthcare, private GP consultations offer a compelling alternative.

What is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation provides the same medical expertise as your NHS GP, but with enhanced service levels and flexibility. At Mayfield Clinic, our experienced clinicians offer comprehensive consultations where you can discuss any health concern, receive thorough examinations, and access immediate advice or treatment recommendations.

Unlike standard NHS appointments, private GP consultations typically last 30 minutes as standard. This extended timeframe allows for detailed discussions about your health concerns without feeling rushed.

How Private GP Consultations Work in Ealing

Our Ealing patients benefit from same-day appointment availability and the opportunity to build ongoing relationships with named doctors. The consultation process mirrors traditional GP visits but with significant enhancements:

During your appointment, our private doctors can provide immediate private prescriptions, arrange necessary investigations, or facilitate specialist referrals. Alternatively, if you prefer NHS treatment pathways, we can seamlessly refer you back into the NHS system.

Benefits of Private GP Consultations

The advantages of choosing private GP care extend beyond appointment duration. Ealing residents particularly value our personalised approach and consistent access to the same clinician.

"Our 30-minute appointments ensure every patient receives the time and attention their health deserves, without the constraints of traditional NHS scheduling."

Key benefits include immediate appointment availability, extended consultation times, and comprehensive health assessments. Our private GP philosophy emphasises building long-term therapeutic relationships rather than treating isolated symptoms.
