What Is a Private GP Consultation? Your Guide for East Grinstead Patients

Looking for fast access to a dedicated GP in East Grinstead? With NHS waiting times for routine GP appointments averaging more than a week, many residents are exploring private GP services for faster, more personal care. If you've ever wondered what a private GP consultation actually involves or how it could help you, this article will give you a clear, practical overview.

What is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is very similar to an appointment with an NHS GP, but with added flexibility, privacy, and convenience. At Mayfield Clinic East Grinstead (appointments delivered from our Horsham practice), you can book a 30-minute consultation with one of our experienced private doctors. Our appointments are designed to give you the time and attention you deserve—no rushing, minimal waiting, and plenty of time for you to ask questions.

“Patients from across East Grinstead are discovering the value of longer, unhurried appointments, and the peace of mind that comes with seeing a GP who knows them personally.”

How Does a Private GP Consultation Work?

Booking a consultation is simple. Just use our online ‘Book Now’ button to secure your appointment. Members can also book via our direct phone line or WhatsApp for even faster access. When you visit us, you'll see the same GPs regularly, building a relationship that means your care is truly joined up.

During your consultation, you might discuss health concerns, get advice, arrange blood tests or investigations, or receive a private prescription. If needed, we can refer you seamlessly to trusted specialists (learn more about referrals), or return you to NHS pathways as appropriate.
