How we can help with cold & flu

For guidance you can trust, we align with NHS UK advice on cold symptoms while offering private, rapid access to care. You can read NHS guidance on the common cold, but private GPs at Mayfield Clinic Ipswich can also:

• Assess symptoms promptly and differentiate between cold, flu, or other infections
• Recommend or prescribe appropriate treatments and symptomatic relief
• Provide follow-up as needed and monitor recovery progress
• Discuss vaccination options and, where relevant, administer flu vaccines

Private GPs offer fast appointments to assess cold and flu symptoms, provide treatments, and administer flu vaccines. They also help manage ongoing symptoms and advise on recovery.
