Private Medicals & Reports

The practice offers appointments for private medicals (eg employment, HGV Licence) – please tell the receptionist when you telephone for an appointment as this usually requires a 30min appointment. Please confirm current private fees in advance when telephoning.

GP’s complete many insurance forms including critical illness insurance, life insurance, cancellation of holidays etc, and miscellaneous requests including fitness for military training and occupational reports. We need your signed consent before we can complete these requests. These can take a long time to do, depending on the complexity of the medical history of the applicant and the size of the medical case notes we need to review – we aim to do these as quickly as possible but our clinical and NHS responsibilities will take priority. We will usually complete these sorts of reports within 2 weeks.

We are increasingly asked for doctors letters or notes for students or schoolchildren absent from college/school, or to support patients in various requests including extension of deadlines etc – please bear in mind that this uses GP clinical and secretarial time which is non-NHS and you may therefore be charged a small fee.
