Private services and fees

The practice offers a range of non-NHS administrative services to our patients. As this work must take place outside of NHS time, we: 

  • charge a fee – please see fee table for more details 
  • Have 28 days to complete your request 
  • Require the patient’s consent before we can process your request 

Please be aware that this service is discretionary and the GP may not be able to include some information/ complete a request in some cases. All requests are assessed by the GP before completion and if they are unable to complete your letter or form the practice will contact you. 

We do not countersign for passports or proof of identity 

For further information on Non-NHS services please see: Why does my doctor charge fees? (bma.org.uk) 

If you would like the GP to write a statement of support for you, for example: 

  • Private sick note 
  • Support letter for housing or court case 
  • Confirmation of registration 

Then please complete the below request form and email this along with any supporting documents to Clccg.belgraviasurgery@nhs.net  

 REQUEST FOR PRIVATE GP LETTER FORM

 

If you have been provided with an official form that has a section for the GP to complete please make sure that you have first completed all your relevant sections before you leave it here 

Most forms require a fee, in some cases this may be requested directly from the organisation requesting the information such as: DWP, DVLA and some insurance companies or solicitors however in most cases you will be required to pay the fee to the practice yourself. 

If you would like to request a private letter or medical report on behalf of someone else you will need to provide proof to the practice that you have the patient’s consent to access their information. This could be: 

  • Proof of parental responsibility if the patient is aged 15 or under 
  • Copy of power of attorney or court order 
  • Signed consent form by the patient
