Private medical services
The National Health Service provides most health care to most people free of charge, but there are exceptions: prescription charges have existed since 1951 and there are a number of other services for which fees are charged. Sometimes the charge is because the service is not covered by the NHS, for example, providing copies of health records or producing medical reports for insurance companies, solicitors or employers.
The Government’s contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients but not non-NHS work. It is important to understand that GPs are not employed by the NHS; they are self-employed and they have to cover their costs – staff, buildings, heating, lighting, etc. – in the same way as any small business.
TOur fees for these services, which are in line with BMA approved national guidelines, are displayed below.
If you are booking a medical please tell the receptionist when making you call so that a longer appointment can be allocated. Some medicals will need to be carried out by a GP other than your own.
Prices valid as of 31st March 2024. Please phone the practice to confirm prices.
