Yes, the number of tests you may need to do yearly increases with age due to the prevalence of health conditions the older we get. Consult with one of our GPs about what kinds of tests you should be doing regularly to monitor your health.

Due to the nature of the tests required, our annual health check ups are held in our Oxford clinic.

The outcomes of many health conditions can be improved or delayed if identified early which is why we recommend having a health check every year. Your results can be monitored over time and any changes or concerns quickly identified and acted upon.

You can use Mayfield Clinic alongside your existing NHS GP practice. We believe in joined-up care; we don’t believe that it is in your best interests to have different doctors independently trying to treat you. For this reason, once you’ve seen a Mayfield Clinic GP we aim (with your permission) to share your consultation notes back with your current NHS GP. For example, if you can’t get an appointment at your local GP practice this week, you can book in with Mayfield Clinic’s GPs. With your consent, we’ll share the Mayfield Clinic consultation notes back with you and your NHS GP, so that when you next see your NHS GP they will have a full picture of your care history.

Here at Mayfield Clinic, we understand that waiting for your NHS GP can be time-consuming and frustrating and when you have a medical concern you want to get seen quickly to alleviate the symptoms. That's why we offer same-day appointments with our expertly trained doctors, both in-person and online, through video consultations. Our GPs can provide first-class private healthcare. We work with leading practitioners, trained and worked for the NHS, registered with the General Medical Council, and work under Mayfield Clinic's CQC registration.
