FEES FOR ‘PRIVATE’ SERVICES
FROM YOUR DOCTOR 
  
 
As you are aware most of the services we provide as a General Practice are free of charge under the NHS.  However, the NHS does not cover the following services and therefore we do make a ‘private’ charge, in line with fees recommended by the British Medical Association. 
  

When making payment for private services we would prefer payment via cheque made payable to 'Wellbrook Medical Centre'.  If this is not possible, please ensure you have the correct amount as we do not carry cash on the premises to give change.
