Non NHS Services

Private "Non-NHS" Work

Some services are not covered under our contract with the NHS, therefore attract charges and can be declined. Examples include the following:

  • Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, DVLA, fostering etc.)
  • Insurance claim forms  
  • Vaccination certificates
  • "Get a note from your Doctor/To whom it may concern" type letters

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability. You will be require to pay upfront before any work is done, and we accept payment by cash and card.

Please be aware that we may decline a request, if we feel what we are being asked is inapproriate or out of the remit of what a GP can advise on. This includes fitness to fly, fitness to drive, maternity, and occupational health.

Fit to Fly Letters

We do not issue or sign "fitness to fly" forms.
 
We will endeavour to do our best to issue a private letter with a statement of facts, which most airlines should accept. If this is insufficient, you will have to seek a private assessment elsewhere by a suitable healthcare professional.
 
If you are pregnant, you should ask your midwife or obstetrician, because we do not have access to your maternity records, and they have access to this information. Your midwife/obstetrician may also decline to do this.

Private Cryotherapy

We no longer offer the minor operations and cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen) service at the Practice.

For those patients who would like to be considered for this treatment and are happy to pay privately there is an option through a Derby based clinic.

There is a private dermatology clinic available at Derby Hospital. This is a consultant led clinic.

Prices are as follows (correct at 2019):

Cryotherapy: £120 for 1-3 lesions, £180 for 4-6 lesions.
Surgery is more, prices start from £365. 

For further information and to book a consultation please contact Derby Hospital on telephone number: 01332 786128 or alternatively you can email dhft.privatepatients@nhs.net.
