Where patients request Non-NHS items or services a private fee may be payable.
This page lists some non-NHS services for which fees which may be payable in advance.

Further Information
Some insurance and medical forms appear deceptively simple but time is needed to review your whole medical records. This is to ensure that even a short form is completed accurately as insurers may invalidate any current or future claims that are made if details are incomplete.
For this reason even a simple question can take a considerable amount of the doctor’s time to review all your medical records. This is despite medical information being summarised on the computer. Often only significant diagnoses are recorded and it is therefore necessary to refer back to the old paper records. This would involve reading of consultations, hospital letters and investigation results over several years.
Our priority is our NHS work
Non NHS work is charged in line with the British Medical Association Guidelines.
Please note that it is surgery policy not to convert private prescriptions to NHS prescriptions - see our Repeat Prescriptions page.
