Continuity of care is an important part of delivering general practice effectively. That's why generally speaking our patients will see the same GP regularly, building a relationship over time. That said, our GPs work as a team, and will all be able to deliver you informed and considered medical advice.
We deliver face to face general practice from a number of locations across the country, and you are welcome to consult face to face. However, our GPs can also consult over the phone or via video if more convenient for you.
Yes you should. All patients eligible for NHS care should maintain an NHS GP registration, even if you exclusively see your Mayfield Clinic GP. Your NHS GP maintains your primary patient record, and should you need to use any NHS services (such as NHS A&E), they will remain your registered practice.
You can either book online via the Book appointment button, or you can contact the Members' call line, Email or WhatsApp line during office hours, and our team will schedule an appointment on your behalf.
We prioritise appointment slots for Members, and will endeavour to offer same day appointments wherever possible.
Our Lewes practice is ideally positioned to serve Ditchling residents, located just 6.4 miles away via the B2116 and A275. The journey typically takes 15-20 minutes by car, making us more accessible than many Brighton-based private clinics. For those using public transport, regular bus services connect Ditchling to Lewes town centre, with our clinic just a short walk from the main bus routes.
Ditchling sits beautifully at the foot of the South Downs, and our Lewes location means you're travelling towards the historic county town rather than into busy urban areas. The route passes through picturesque East Sussex countryside via Plumpton and takes you directly into Lewes, where ample parking is available near our practice. We're also easily accessible for patients from neighbouring villages including Westmeston, Streat, and Plumpton.
Many of our Ditchling patients appreciate that they can combine their private GP appointment with a visit to Lewes's historic high street, antique shops, or the famous Harvey's Brewery. The A275 provides a direct route from the Ditchling village centre, making us the most convenient private medical option for local residents.

Conditions our private doctors assist with regularly include Coughs & Colds, Contraception, Menopause, Skin Conditions, Second Opinions, Aches & Pains, Stress and Headaches. There are a limited number of issues we can't treat.
Where necessary, our clinicians will issue you with an electronic prescription. These can be redeemed at most pharmacies, including all Boots, Tesco, Superdrug and Lloyds pharmacies.
