Non-NHS and Private Services
Some services are not covered by the NHS and are provided for a fee.
GPs are sometimes asked to complete work outside NHS-funded care, such as providing medical reports or information for insurance companies, employers, solicitors and other organisations.
Please complete the relevant form and return it to Reception. It will be forwarded to a GP for review. Fees may apply, and the GP will determine the appropriate charge.
Private medical appointments can usually be arranged within a couple of weeks, subject to availability.
For information about available services, fees or appointments, please speak to our Reception Team.
Examples of services that may incur a fee include:
- Medical reports for insurance companies or mortgage applications
- Certain travel vaccinations that are not available through the NHS
- Holiday cancellation forms or medical certificates
- Questionnaires for private gyms or slimming clubs
- Letters confirming medical reasons for cancelling or ending a gym membership
- Other forms, reports or letters requested for non-NHS purposes
This is not an exhaustive list. All requests are reviewed by a GP, who will determine whether a fee applies and the appropriate charge.
The BMA provides guidance to doctors on setting fees for non-NHS work and has nationally agreed fees for some types of work. However, there is no single BMA fee for every service.
Where there is no nationally agreed fee, GPs or practices can set their own charges, taking into account the time involved, professional responsibilities and the costs of providing the service.
Non-NHS reports, forms and medical examinations are outside NHS-funded care and may require additional GP time and resources. Fees help to cover these costs.
When a GP signs a certificate or report, they can only confirm information that they know to be accurate and supported by the medical record.
Even a simple form may therefore require the GP to review your records before signing it. This ensures that the information provided is accurate and appropriate.
Providing inaccurate or incomplete information can have serious consequences for both the patient and the GP.
Our GPs’ priority is always the care of patients within NHS services.
Non-NHS reports are completed alongside our NHS workload, and may therefore take longer to process. Please allow at least 28 days for your report to be completed, depending on the complexity of the request and GP availability.
We appreciate your patience and recommend submitting your request as early as possible.
