Some services fall outside the NHS and for these a charge will be made. These include BUPA / PPP forms, private certificates, and various special examinations for employment, elderly drivers’ insurance, sports and schools tests. A list of these services, including charges, is available below.
Medical examinations, if required (e.g. by an insurance company) are charged at standard BMA rates. If you need a special examination please arrange this with the receptionist, as they cannot be done within NHS time.
Please take note that a longer appointment will be required. Failure to attend an appointment will incur a fee.
Please also note that NHS work takes priority over any non-NHS/private work and therefore during busy periods you may have to wait sometime for forms to be completed.
Occupational Health Vaccinations
Occupational health vaccinations, i.e. Hepatitis B vaccinations, fall outside the NHS and are the responsibility of your employer. We do not offer these vaccinations to our patients. We do have reciprocal agreement with local practices; please enquire at reception if you need further information (there is a charge for this service).
