Forms can take up to 28 days to complete
If we agree to complete non-NHS work, our NHS medical care of our patients takes priority during our working day so any private non-NHS letters or forms can take up to 28 days to complete and return to you. We cannot guarantee they will be completed earlier.
Payment
By Card at Reception . No refunds are given.
Some services are not covered by the NHS and our practice will therefore charge a fee for completion of this work.
As the British Medical Association suggest
“With certain exceptions written within their contract, doctors do not have to carry out non-NHS work. However, many choose to for the benefit of you and other families they treat.”

Please can you review the “check list for patients” included below in the frequently asked questions if you are considering requesting we complete any non-NHS (private) work.
Before submitting a form or a request it is worth reading about some important considerations which act as a checklist and can save you time.
You will be charged a fee by us if you request a private sick note for less than 7 days. However, this is unnecessary, and your employer should not request one unless they are concerned about repeated illness.
As Gov UK suggests
“If employees are off work for 7 days or less, they do not need to give their employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional. When they return to work, their employer can ask them to confirm they’ve been off sick. This is called ‘self-certification’. The employer and employee will agree on how the employee should do this. They might need to fill in a form or send details of their sick leave by email.”
“Taking sick leave.” Gov.UK website. Retrieved 14 February 2023
A sick note is free if you are off longer than 7 days.
