Private Patients
NHS services are provided free of charge and we do not see patients privately.
Private Services
The NHS does not pay for some of the services we provide. These include private sick notes, insurance claim forms, holiday cancellation forms, medical reports, fitness to travel certificates, private prescriptions, and some vaccination services. Again our fees for these services, which are in line with BMA approved national guidelines, please ask at reception for details.
Private Referrals
If you need to be referred for a specialist opinion and wish to be seen privately by the specialist we will make a private referral and will not charge you for this. A referral letter will be prepared and you will usually be asked to collect it from the surgery reception and take it with you to your appointment.
If you need us to complete a claim form for your private medical insurance company there will be an administrative charge for doing so and please note that we are only able to complete the forms if we have been involved in the referral process.
Private Health Screening Medicals
We are not able to provide private health screening at the surgery. If you seek a private health screening medical then we advise you contact a private provider such as BUPA.
