Non NHS Work/Private Fees

The NHS provides the majority of healthcare services to people free of charge; however, there are a few exceptions. The government’s contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients but not non-NHS work. This non-NHS work falls outside the scope of the GMS contract.

When a GP is asked to complete a certificate or report, they must ensure that the information they sign off on is accurate and truthful, based on the patient’s medical records. This is a requirement for maintaining their standing on the Medical Register.

Our practice aims for a 6 week turnaround for these types of requests. While we understand that some situations may be urgent, we may not be able to accommodate short notice requests without sufficient time.
