What is a Private GP Consultation? Your Guide to Private GP Care in Alton

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Finding fast, personal medical care is now more important than ever. For those living in Alton, quick and easy access to a dedicated GP is no longer just a dream—it's a reality with Mayfield Clinic’s private GP consultations, delivered from our nearby practice in Farnham. If you’re tired of long NHS waiting times or want more continuity with your doctor, our service offers a refreshingly different experience.

Private GP Consultations Explained

A private GP consultation provides the same level of clinical attention as with an NHS GP but with significant enhancements. At Mayfield Clinic Alton patients receive longer appointment slots—usually lasting 30 minutes, compared to the NHS’s 10-minute model. This means your concerns aren’t rushed, and you can discuss anything from ongoing symptoms to general health worries.

What Happens During Your Appointment?

You’ll have unrushed time to share your health concerns, ask detailed questions, and receive thorough answers. Our GPs can provide private prescriptions (see how we prescribe privately), arrange referrals when specialist input is needed, and organise blood tests or other investigations on-site. Digital access to your records and test results ensures complete transparency and continuity of care.

“At Mayfield Clinic, we believe that seeing the same GP each time leads to better health outcomes and a higher standard of care. That’s why we prioritise continuity for our Alton patients.”
