Non NHS Private Fees
The majority of consultations and services carried out at this surgery are paid for by the NHS. However, where additional services are provided, we are required to pass on the specific cost to patients. The type of additional, non-NHS funded services most frequently requested include:
- Insurance forms
- Holiday cancellation forms, medical reports
- Private prescriptions
- Private letters
Our fees for these services, which are in line with BMA approved national guidelines, are below and displayed in the surgery.
Should you wish to apply for a letter or form completion, please submit a request using our online form.
All services will take up to 28 days to be completed, except where indicated* and we are unable to take urgent requests so please allow plenty of time for your form to be completed.

Assessment of Capacity (28 day service minimum*)
The GP will consider the request in order to determine whether the reason for assessment is within the scope of their expertise. This consideration will take up to 14 days from when the request is received. If they are happy to proceed an appointment will then be arranged, following payment of the fee. Please note that we cannot carry out assessments of capacity for property or finance.
Fitness for Sporting Medicals (28 day service minimum*)
Due to the complexities and wide variety of requirements for fitness notes for activities, and because this is not an NHS service, the decision as to whether we can provide you with confirmation of fitness will be made by your GP.
The GP will assess the request in order to determine whether it can be done here at the surgery and also, dependent on the amount of work it takes, the fee that this will incur. This assessment will take up to 14 days from when it is handed in. If the GP is happy to proceed, please allow a further 14 days for the paperwork to be completed.
If we are unable to deal with your request, or you need this completed sooner than the 28 day service we offer, we may be able to signpost you to an alternative option.
There are a number of services the surgery is unable to provide, these include:
- Concessionary bus pass forms
- Visa medical examinations
- Blue badge application forms
- Fit to travel letters
For services such as these, independent health professionals should undertake assessments in place of GPs.
