Non-NHS services
Services which attract a Fee
The National Health Service provides most health care to most people free of charge, but there are exceptions. The NHS does not employ GP’s but has a contract with them to provide NHS general medical services for their patients. Sometimes GP’s are asked to provide additional services, which fall outside their NHS contract, and in these circumstances they are entitled to make a reasonable charge for providing them. The Practice has a list of charges compiled using British Medical Association (BMA) guidelines:

When a Doctor signs a certificate or completes a report, they need to check the patient’s entire medical record to ensure they are providing accurate information. Therefore we do ask for reasonable notice to complete reports.
