Non NHS Services
Certain services provided by your doctor are not covered by the NHS and you will therefore be asked to pay a fee in line with the recommendation of the British Medical Association.
These include:
- Pre-employment medicals
- Private medicals
- Insurance medicals
- Fitness to drive medicals
- HGV/PSV medicals
- Insurance/Travel certificates
- Private certificates
If you have any queries about fees or any other private medical services please ask at reception.
Fit for Work Certificate
It is not necessary to have a Doctors certificate until you have been absent continuously from work for 7 days including weekends. After 3 days you must obtain a self-certificate(SC2) from your employer. If your illness continues for more than 7 days then under the NHS your GP can issue an official statement (Med 3) "fit to work certificate" to confirm your illness.
Your employer may require you to complete a self-certificate (SC2) which is available from Reception, your employer, the Post Office or the DSS or access the form online.
