Other Information
Medical Students
Sometimes there will be a medical student working alongside the doctor. You will be told of this when you
make your appointment and given the opportunity to say whether or not you wish the medical student to be
present during your consultation.
Chaperones
For certain examinations the doctor will request a chaperone to be present during your examination by the doctor. If you are unhappy with this you will need to speak to the practice manager.
Fees For Non-NHS Services
Certain services provided are not covered by the NHS and you may be asked to pay a fee.
Some examples are:
- Pre-employment Medicals
- Private Medicals eg HGV
- Private Certificates
|
- Insurance Medicals
- Fitness to Drive Medicals

A schedule of fees is displayed in the waiting area.
Patient Participation Group
We run a patient participation group and organise regular meetings between patients, clinicians, practice manager, and practice staff. The group is about sharing ideas to improve our services. If you would like to be involved, please contact our practice manager.
