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.
Please be advised that non-NHS work, including insurance forms, medical reports, and DVLA forms, Private Letters, is subject to a fee. Additionally, the processing of these requests may take up to 28 working days. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we handle these services. For Full fee information please speak to a member of the reception team.
Private prescriptions
A GP in the surgery can only provide a private prescription if the medication is not available on the NHS, the processing of such requests take up to 48 working hours.
A private prescription is not written on an official NHS prescription and so is not paid for by the NHS. A prescription is a legal document for which the doctor, who has issued and signed it, is responsible. A doctor you see privately is unable to issue an NHS prescription.
The cost of a private prescription is met wholly by the patient and is dictated by the cost of the medicine plus the pharmacists charge for supplying it. Our fee for issuing patients with a private prescription is £15.
