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

Finding fast, personal medical care in Crawley can be challenging. NHS waiting times in the area have reached over 13 days for a routine GP appointment in recent reports. That’s why many Crawley residents are seeking alternatives—such as a private GP consultation—for immediate advice and tailored support. But what exactly is a private GP consultation, and how does it differ from your usual GP visit?

What Does a Private GP Consultation Involve?

At Mayfield Clinic, our Crawley patients enjoy a premium, personalised experience—delivered from our dedicated practice in Horsham, just a short journey away. When you attend a private GP consultation, you receive uninterrupted time (minimum 30 minutes per appointment) to discuss any health issue in detail. Unlike many NHS appointments, there’s ample opportunity to explore your full medical history, have your questions answered, and develop a collaborative care plan specific to you.

• Fast, flexible access: Most Crawley patients can book a same-day or next-day appointment online—no waitlists, no triage calls. Learn more about accessing our services.
• Continuity of care: Build a trusted relationship with the same private GP over multiple visits. We keep comprehensive records to keep your care seamless.
• Comprehensive support: From health checks and blood tests to referrals and private prescriptions, our doctors cover all your general health needs. Read how we manage referrals and prescribe privately here.
• Flexible appointment lengths: Book for 30, 45, even 60-minute consultations—choose what’s right for you.

“Our Crawley patients consistently tell us how valuable it is to be truly listened to—without rushing—whether it’s for a simple health concern or something more complex.”

Comparing Private GP Consultations and NHS GP Consultations in Crawley

While NHS GPs offer vital free care, pressure on the public system can mean shorter appointments, delays for follow-up, or waiting to see a specific clinician. At Mayfield Clinic, the difference is time and access: you drive your care, choose your own doctor, and get support on your schedule. We’re proud that many Crawley families now trust us for their regular health checks and ongoing wellbeing needs.
