The NHS provides free health care for most people.

It is important to understand that GPs are self employed and not all of the services we provide are covered by NHS payments to the practice.

Please expect a fee for non NHS services. The staff or your doctor should inform you of any charges before carrying out non NHS work.

We also offer private medicals which may be needed by any agency, such as your employer, or for overseas visa applications. Please contact the practice for further details. 

Any request for private work MUST be made in writing to the practice.

This can either be a letter posted to us, an email sent to our practice or documents handed in at reception.

Any request must also contain at least THREE identifying factors such as; patient name, date of birth, address and/or NHS Number. In addition, please ensure we have the most up to date contact information for you.

Once the request has been received, it will be processed by our secretaries and doctors. Whoever requested the information (yourself or a company on your behalf) should be responded to within 21 working days of the request being received.

Some requests may need extra information before we can process them e.g. you may need to arrange an opticians appointment, have blood tests or examinations.

Please be advised you will be informed of any fee due and an invoice will be produced BEFORE we complete or send out any medical reports. If you wish to see the report before it is sent to the requesting company, please inform reception or the secretaries.
