Under the NHS terms of services, GP practices are NOT required to provide the following services.   It is left for the individual GP Practices to decide whether they will do them or not.  If they agree, these services are chargeable, and the fees detailed below will be applied.

For simple things which require a few notes and a signature, you may be wondering why you have to pay a fee.   Please remember – you are not paying for the simplicity but for the responsibility that the signature carries (and the necessary insurance).

Before you request anything…

The The Harefield Practices fees for doing these things are detailed below.   However, you must obey three rules before we will do them.

1) Patients are expected to pay FIRST for any of these before they are done.

No report will be done nor released until the fee has been paid first.   This is necessary because the practice has several letters done every year which patients have not collected, nor paid for, but has involved a lot of our GP time doing them.

2) Please do not book an appointment with the doctor to request any of the items below.

Instead, contact one of our reception staff who will organise it all for you.

3) You need to sign an online consent form

For any letter or form: you must ensure that you must sign a consent form to enable us to release medical information about you.
