Medical Report Request/Private Letter
If you need a medical report, please contact us online to make your request. Tell us exactly what information you need or how many years of records you want. There might be a fee for this service, and it can take up to 28 days to get your report.
The surgery mainly focuses on helping sick patients. Writing private letters and reports is done by the doctor in their own time, not during NHS working hours. This might have a fee, based on British Medical Association guidelines.
If you need a private letter or report, you need to pay for it. We only accept card payments now; we no longer take cash. After you pay by card, we will send your request to the doctor. It can take up to 28 days to complete.

Fees for Private Services
Our main job is to take care of sick patients. Private letters and medical reports are not part of the NHS GP contract, so they have to be done outside of the GP’s regular NHS hours. These services may cost money, based on the fees suggested by the British Medical Association.
If you need a private letter or report from your GP, there will be a fee.
Payments
We no longer accept cash. You can only pay with a card now. After you make the payment with your card, we will ask the GP to complete your request. This can take up to 28 days.
