Non-NHS Private Fees
Letters and Forms
We appreciate your trust in our medical services and understand that there may be occasions when you require letters from your General Practitioner (GP) for various purposes.
The provision of medical reports is not covered by the National Health Service. It is a private service for which a fee is payable. This work takes place outside of NHS time.
Therefore we:
- Charge a fee – please see fee table below for more details
- Have 28 days to complete your request
- Require the patient’s consent before we can process your request
- Prepayment is required
- If needed within 7 days, there is an extra £30 charge

Timescales
While we strive to fulfil all requests promptly, it is important to understand that private letters and reports do not take precedence over NHS commitments. Kindly allow up to 28 days for the completion of your request and the payment of the appropriate fee. If your request is urgent or you are given a short deadline by a third party, please submit a valid evidence with your request so that we may be able to help you with your request early. There is an extra fee of £30 for a one week turnaround.
Content
It is crucial to note that we cannot accept requests for the doctor to write specific words verbatim. The content of the letter will be based on the GP’s knowledge supported by your medical records. Both the letter and the accompanying opinion are considered final, and requests for alterations cannot be accommodated. The GP reserves the right to refuse a request or provide alternative wording if deemed necessary.
