One of our administrators will discuss the request with the doctor and If the doctor agrees to provide a letter, a report, complete a form or a medical report, there will be a charge as this is not NHS work.

Once the fee is agreed, it will need to be paid in full, PRIOR to completion of the work requested. This can take up to 21 days to process. Please refer to our private fees attachment for fees payable for the work.

If you have had any tests elsewhere that was not requested by the medical centre (e.g., it was requested in the hospital by the hospital doctor); then you must contact the hospital department/consultant who arranged the tests for their results and to arrange a follow up with that department/doctor.

If you you have moved house, then please use the link to inform us of the change of address or contact details. Provided you still live within our catchment area, your address will be updated on your medical record within 5 working days. However, if you have moved to an address outside our catchment area, you may be contacted and advised that you need to re-register with a GP Practice closer to your new address. A deduction request will be sent to Primary Care Support England (PCSE) in 2 weeks. This allows you sufficient time to find and register with a new GP Practice.

Patients should self-certify their sickness if the period of sickness is 7 days or less. If the sickness if for 8 days or more, the patient should submit a request for a FIT note (sick note) from their usual Doctor.

The practice/your doctor does not issue reports or letters for the DWP/PIP unless they have been requested directly by them. Doctors will not issue reports or letters for the DWP or PIP if requested by a patient and they will not be issued to the patient.
