Non-NHS Services

Private/Non NHS Services

Certain services such as private sick notes, insurance claim forms and some medical examinations are not covered by the NHS. Charges are made in line with BMA recommendations.

You can find the list of our charges on the following link Private Fees

Medical Certificates

It is not necessary to see the Doctor specifically for a certificate in the first week of illness. Self-certification forms for the first six days of absence are available from reception, from your employer or the post office. If a signed certificate is required to cover this period, then a private certificate is issued and a charge made. After the first week, sickness certificates may be obtained as part of the consultation with the Doctor. Remember that if you have been in hospital, a certificate to cover any in-patient period must be issued before you are discharged

Medication Examination

We undertake specific medical examinations for insurance, employment, driving and sporting reasons. A fee is payable for these medicals.
