Services Outside Our NHS Contract
**Due to high demand and backlog, we are currently unable to accept new requests for non-NHS work. This page will be updated as soon as we are taking on new requests. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.**
The National Health Service (NHS) provides most healthcare free of charge to the majority of patients; however, there are some exceptions. GPs are self-employed professionals who are contracted to provide NHS general medical services.
At times, GPs may be asked to carry out work that falls outside this NHS contract. In such cases, they are entitled to charge a reasonable fee for providing these services.
