Non NHS Private Fees

 

Learn more about private services fees

Not everything that we are asked to do is classed as NHS Work. Sometimes, patients may require administrative help from their GP which does not directly relate to their healthcare. For these requests, there may be an associated charge. If this is the case, you will be informed shortly after submitting your request to the team.

Please be aware that there are some administrative services that we have decided as a practice we will not be able to offer. If we are unable to complete your request, you will be notified when you contact the practice.

We kindly ask that all requests for non-NHS work be submitted in writing by the patient. Please click here for the online form.

All requests can take up to 28 working days to be completed, starting from when the request is submitted.
