Non NHS Services
Private Work Fees
The National Health Service provides most healthcare to the majority of people free of charge, but there are exceptions. GPs are self-employed and are contracted to provide NHS general medical services for their patients.
Sometimes, GPs are asked to provide additional services which fall outside their contract and in these circumstances, they are entitled to make a reasonable charge for providing them. Please scroll down to view our charges for non NHS work and request a private service using our secure online form.
Passport Signing
In the past it was ok to use your Doctor/GP to countersign your application. Due to high demand and complaints received from medical professionals, you are now not able to use your registered doctor as a counter signatory (however, if you have a friend or colleague who is a doctor this is still permitted).
Private Services are subject to availability of GPs
Time spent completing forms and preparing reports takes the GP away from the medical care of his or her patients. Most GPs have a very heavy workload – the majority work up to 70 hours a week – and paperwork takes up an increasing amount of their time, so many GPs find they have to take some paperwork home at night and weekends.
