Non NHS Medical Services
Introduction
GPs operate as independent professionals and as such are entitled to make a charge for work which falls outside the work which the government contracts them to do for the NHS.
In general private medicals, and a variety of paperwork including private sick notes, insurance forms etc are not paid for by the NHS, and so will carry a Doctor's fee.
This will sometimes be reimbursed by the organisation which requested the report, and other times the patient will be liable. You will be advised of any fees incurred prior to any non NHS work being carried out.
Our current charges are set out below. The charges may be subject to change without notice, and may vary according to the amount of work involved.
