Some services provided by our practice are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore will attract charges. This category of work is known as non-NHS work, or commonly known as Private Work. Examples include the following:
- Private prescriptions
- Private sick note
- Pre-employment medicals and assessments
- Travel cancellation letters and forms
These non-NHS services are not permitted for completion in our core GP hours within our NHS contract under NHS guidance. Private non-NHS services can also attract charges.
Whilst these services are important for patients, as they are not considered NHS work and our team must action these on top of their NHS work. The doctors reserve the right to refuse to undertake such work if they do not feel it is appropriate and will always make NHS work their priority.
If you require any of these non-NHS forms and services:
Please submit an admin request via Anima between 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday.
Alternatively, you can call 01329 845777 or visit the surgery during opening hours. Please note our busiest times are 8am to 11am.
Please be advised completion of non-NHS work can take up to 90 days.
