Non-NHS services

The NHS does not pay for some of the services we provide. These include private sick notes, insurance forms, holiday cancellation forms, medical reports, fitness to travel certificates, private prescriptions, and some vaccination services. Payment is required prior to the non-NHS work being completed. A list of fees can be obtained from reception.

Please note: We ask for 7-10 days to complete any non-NHS work (this may vary due to annual leave etc). The practice secretaries will contact the patient when the documents are ready to collect.
