Certain services such as private sick notes, insurance claim forms, travel cancellations and some medical examinations are not covered by the NHS and charges are made in line with the appropriate BMA recommended fee.
An appointment is not usually necessary; please check with the receptionists who will also inform you of the charge, so that the account can be settled immediately.
Please note that payment must be made before any any non-NHS work can be passed onto a GP, if for any reason the work cannot be done by a GP a full refund will be given to you. Once payment is made please allow up to 28 days for completion.

The NHS Health Check is your chance to get your free midlife MOT. For adults in England aged 40-74 without a pre-existing condition, it checks your circulatory and vascular health and what your risk of getting a disabling vascular disease is. This guide explains what happens at the check, when and how you get one, and how to lower your risk.
Please visit the Travax website for information on travel vaccinations. Our Practice Nurses are only able to give NHS vaccinations.
If you are travelling abroad it is sensible to make provision well in advance of your expected date of travel, if possible a minimum of four weeks.
Mirfield Health Centre only provides the vaccines that are free on the NHS, if you require additional vaccinations you can visit private travel health services or pharmacies which offer travel vaccination services.
