What Is a Private GP Consultation? Your Guide in Marlow

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Private GP consultations are becoming an essential part of healthcare choices in Marlow. In fact, recent surveys show over 55% of UK patients want more personalised care with same-day appointments—something not always available via traditional NHS routes.

So what exactly is a private GP consultation, and how can it serve patients in Marlow? At Mayfield Clinic, our consultations offer a flexible and patient-centred experience. You’ll have time to discuss all your health concerns—our standard private GP appointments run for 30 minutes, with the option to book longer sessions. This means you can bring a list of questions, talk through ongoing symptoms or get comprehensive advice with no sense of being rushed. Discover our philosophy here.

Same-Day, Personalised GP Care for Marlow Residents

Whilst we see Marlow patients at our nearby Beaconsfield clinic (find out more here), our services are designed specifically for those who want timely, direct access to experienced doctors.

Booking is fully online—just click the Book now button on our website for instant scheduling. Members enjoy direct access via phone or WhatsApp, offering even more convenience. Read more about how to access our GP services.

Our private GPs offer more than just longer appointment times. Every consultation can include thorough assessments, blood tests or other investigations, private prescriptions (details here), or specialist referrals (how we refer). Should you prefer, we can coordinate your ongoing care with your NHS GP as needed.

"For Marlow families, private GP consultations at Mayfield Clinic can mean the difference between waiting weeks and being seen the very same day in Beaconsfield. Doctors you know, right when you need them."
