Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

If you live in Billingshurst and are searching for quick, high-quality care without the typical wait, a private GP consultation could be your next step. Recent surveys reveal that over half of UK patients find it difficult to see the same doctor consistently in the NHS. That’s where Mayfield Clinic comes in—offering a new approach only a short journey away at our Horsham practice, conveniently serving the Billingshurst community. (View our Billingshurst page)

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic isn’t just about speed – it's about depth. Expect a thorough, relaxed appointment, typically 30 minutes long, with your chosen GP. There’s time to explore every health worry, no matter how small or complex. Whether it’s a persistent cough, new fatigue, or a review for an existing condition, our experienced team ensures nothing is rushed or overlooked.

How Do Private GP Consultations Work?

Booking is simple—use our online system and lock in a slot that fits your schedule. Patients from Billingshurst will be seen at our modern Horsham clinic (directions here), a short trip from Billingshurst town centre. Need more time? You’re free to book extended appointments, or request to see the same doctor again for continuity.

Your consultation includes the option for on-the-spot blood tests, investigations, or referrals. Our GPs can prescribe private medication (details here) or seamlessly refer you to NHS specialists if that’s your preference (learn more).

Your time is valued. Enjoy consultations that are unhurried, attentive, and truly personalised.
