Private Care Fees

The majority of procedures, consultations and services carried out at this surgery are paid for by the NHS. However, there are some services, such as certain vaccinations and completion of medical reports and forms, which are chargeable as they do not fall under the terms of service of the NHS Standard Contract.

Our priority is NHS work. Non-NHS work is charged in-line with British Medical Association Guidelines.

Most frequently requested non-NHS services include:

• Certificates, Forms and Letters:
  • Private Insurance forms
  • HGV license forms
  • Holiday cancellation forms & medical reports
  • Fitness to travel certificates
  • To whom it may concern letters
  • Passport Forms*
• Private prescriptions
• Vaccination services – includes Yellow Fever and Hep B injection.

*The Doctor is only allowed to sign a passport application if they have known you personally for a minimum of two years.

Please note that GPs are not obliged to do any of the above work, it will always take second priority to their clinical work. A £5 deposit is now required when requesting any release of documentation or information. The deposit will be deducted from the total fee and outstanding payment is due prior to any documentation release. Our fees for these services are displayed in the surgery; however, if requested, you will be notified of the applicable charges prior to completion. Private work can take up to 28 days to complete, this is in line with BMA approved national guidelines.
