Private services

Not all services offered at the practice are covered by the NHS.

Where patients request non-NHS items or services, a private fee may apply. For example, the fee for a private referral letter is £20.

All fees must be paid in advance by cash or card.

Please note that the inclusion of a service on our list does not guarantee it will be provided. If a service is not available, any payment made will be refunded.

For services not listed, fees will be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.
