What Is a Private GP Consultation? Your Guide in Ivybridge

Access to fast, proactive healthcare is changing. In Ivybridge and the South Hams, even a short drive can open doors to thorough, personalised medical attention. Many residents find themselves waiting for weeks to see their NHS GP. But what if you could see a private doctor, often same day, and spend the time you need discussing all your concerns? That’s precisely what a private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic offers.  

Understanding Private GP Consultations in Ivybridge

So, what is a private GP consultation? In essence, it’s a personalised medical appointment with a qualified doctor, similar to a standard NHS GP visit – but with some remarkable advantages. These include longer appointment times (at least 30 minutes at Mayfield Clinic), the option to regularly see the same doctor, and prompt access, often within hours of booking.  Mayfield Clinic Ivybridge patients benefit from these extended, unhurried consultations at our Salcombe & Kingsbridge site – just a quick trip from Ivybridge.
