Non NHS Private Fees

 

Learn more about private services fees

Our contract with the NHS covers the provision of sickness certificates for people who are employed/unemployed. Most other certificates and forms are not covered by the NHS. We provide these as a private service and charge at a cost which reflects the time taken. Please ask a member of staff regarding the fees chargeable if wish to know the cost and likely timeframe for completion of a particular form.

Some examples of Non-NHS Services include the following:

  • Medicals for pre-employment
  • Sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
  • Insurance claim forms
  • Holiday cancellation forms
  • Pre-employment health forms
  • Prescriptions and/or Letters for taking medication abroad
