PRIVATE FEES AND CHARGES

The Surgery provides a range of private services in addition to NHS services. Patients are advised that these charges are payable in advance of any requests being actioned.  

 

Medical Forms and Fitness Assessments for Private or Recreational Activities

We are often asked to provide medical assessments or complete forms for activities such as marathons, skydiving, scuba diving, or seatbelt exemption requests. 

These requests do not fall within the scope of NHS Care. As a GP Practice, we are not idemnified or resources to assess patients' fitness for private, recreational, or non-essential activitiesd we are therefore unable to complete forms or provide medical opinions for these purposes. 

If you need to share information about your medical history with a third party:

  • Patients with online access can access and share their medical summary or problem list directly.
  • You may request a free printout of a brief summary of your medical records by contacting the admin team via email, or completing an admin request using our patient triage form. 
  • If you require a letter stating factual information about a medical condition (or lack of), we may be able to provide this for a fee. Please note this will include facts only and will not include an opinion of your fitness to participate in any activity. 

If you require a formal assessment of your fitness to take part in an activity, you are free to seek the opinion of a relevant private specialist.
