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

Prescriptions for taking medication abroad

Vaccination certificates

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.
