What to Expect from a Private GP Consultation in Shoreham-by-Sea

Private GP

28/08/2025 by Dr Antony Malloy

One out of every five people in the UK feels they wait too long for an appointment with their NHS doctor. You might be surprised just how quickly you can see a private GP. Our private general practice provides prompt, personal healthcare with extended appointment times for Shoreham-by-Sea residents. You’ll find us just a short distance away in Hove.

What is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is much like an ordinary GP appointment—only it’s tailored to your schedule and your specific needs. Discussions might include new or ongoing health concerns, physical exams, blood tests, or even referrals. Our GPs can handle private prescriptions and, if you prefer, can guide you back into NHS services when needed. Learn more about our approach by visiting our private GP philosophy page.

Why Choose a Private GP?

Fast appointments are a major draw of private GP care. At Mayfield Clinic, we aim to offer same-day options, which lets you receive timely advice and helps you avoid lengthy waits. Longer appointment slots—typically 30 minutes—enable you to have a full conversation about everything on your mind. Alternatively, if you want more time, longer sessions can be booked. By choosing our private GP services, you have access to the same GP regularly for a reliable, consistent healthcare experience.

Our Shoreham-by-Sea Connection

Shoreham-by-Sea is known for the historic Shoreham Airport—the UK’s oldest licensed airfield—and an active waterfront reflecting the town’s rich maritime heritage. Although we serve Shoreham-by-Sea residents, our consultations take place at our Hove practice. It’s a brief journey along the coast, making it convenient for local families, busy professionals, and anyone keen on receiving high-quality care promptly. Practice details can be found here.
