Why do GPs sometimes charge fees?
Although the National Health Service provides most healthcare to most people free of charge, there are some exceptions.
In the case of the vaccines listed this is because these services are not covered by the NHS.
GPs are not employed by the NHS, they are self employed and have to cover their costs – staff, buildings, heating, lighting etc, in the same way as any small business. The NHS covers these costs for NHS work only through the contract they place with GPs to deliver NHS services and GPs are not allowed to charge NHS patients for work that the NHS pays them to do, however for non-NHS work the fee has to cover the Doctor’s costs.
The practice can accept payment in cash or by credit/debit card. We regret we can no longer accept payment by cheque.
NOTE: Please leave medical report forms with the receptionist a week before your appointment.
It may not be possible for us to undertake medicals for some specialised sports activities that may require the doctor to have an in-depth knowledge of the sport.
