The doctors are contracted to provide general medical services, but there are certain instances where they are asked to provide services outside the contract.
These include all insurance, employment, HGV, PCV and sport medicals, signing of passport forms, private insurance claim forms, private prescriptions or medical certificates and various others.
Please ask at reception for details, including fees charged, which are set in line with the BMA recommended rate. We reserve the right to ask for payment before preparing reports.
