Some services provided by the practice are not covered by the NHS and may involve a fee. This is because the work is outside the NHS services that GP practices are contracted to provide.

Examples include private letters, medical reports, insurance forms and certain certificates or examinations.

Fees vary depending on the type of work required. Please see our current fee schedule for details:

[View our Non-NHS Services & Fees]

Please be aware that non-NHS work is completed alongside our NHS clinical workload and may take some time to complete. We will let you know the expected timescale when you make your request.

If you are unsure whether we can complete a particular form, report or certificate, please contact our reception team on 01274 484111 before making your request.

Our social prescribing service can support you with non-medical issues that may be affecting your health and wellbeing.

A social prescriber can take time to understand what matters to you and help connect you with appropriate local services, community groups and other sources of support. This could include help with social isolation, loneliness, finances, housing, employment, physical activity and general wellbeing.

Social prescribing can be particularly helpful if you would benefit from additional support but do not necessarily need medical treatment.

If you think social prescribing could help you, please contact our reception team on 01274 484111. We can advise you about accessing the service.

If you are planning to travel abroad, we recommend checking the health advice and vaccination requirements for your destination as early as possible.

Check travel health advice for your destination – TravelHealthPro

If you think you may need travel vaccinations, please contact our reception team on 01274 484111. You will initially be booked for a telephone consultation with one of our nurses.

During this consultation, the nurse will review your destination, travel plans and vaccination history and discuss which vaccinations you may need. If you require vaccinations that we can provide through the NHS, the nurse will arrange an appointment for you to receive these at the practice.

Some vaccinations recommended specifically for travel are not available free through the NHS. If you require one of these vaccinations, you will be advised to arrange this through a private travel vaccination service.

Please contact us as early as possible before you travel, ideally at least 6 to 8 weeks before departure, as some vaccinations need to be given in advance or require a course of doses.

The NHS offers a number of vaccinations to adults depending on factors such as age, medical conditions, pregnancy and other risk factors.

These may include vaccinations against flu, COVID-19, shingles, pneumococcal disease and RSV, depending on your eligibility.

We will usually contact eligible patients when seasonal vaccination programmes are running or when a vaccination is due.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible for a particular vaccination, think you may have missed one, or would like us to check your vaccination record, please contact our reception team on 01274 484111.

You can also find information about NHS vaccinations and who is eligible on the NHS website:
