Private treatment

Non-NHS or private work is any work undertaken by the doctor/practice that is not included in the GMS contract or reimbursed by the NHS.

All private work required will be subject to assessment. An individual fee quotation will be provided.

Such private work includes (but is not limited to):

• Holiday cancellation forms
• Life assurance reports
• Pre-university or pre-employment forms
• Accident claim reports

NHS contractual obligations have to take priority and private work can sometimes take up to 30 days for certain work. When making a request for private work to be completed, please ask for a guide time for completion.

If you would like to request a medical report, please complete a medical reports request form.

All reports and letters can be paid for on collection. All reports or forms which require a medical examination or GP consultation must be paid for in advance.

When a patient chooses to have treatment privately, they are required to purchase the full episode of care from the private provider.

GP practices cannot provide private services to any patient who is registered on their NHS list, or demand any payment from them.

It is also not the role of the GP to sign post patients to private providers for blood tests on behalf of private healthcare providers.
