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 the NHS payments to the practice.

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

Examples of Non-NHS services include:

• Medicals for Pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, Taxi etc)
• Insurance Claim Forms
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Provate Fit Notes
• Vaccination Certificates

Wherever possible, we try to complete forms and reports within three weeks of receipt. We will inform you of the likely charge due when you ask for the paperwork to be completed. The charge reflects both the time required checking information, completing the form and the responsibility associated with it. Payment is requested prior to reports being completed.
