Medical Reports & Letters (Non-NHS Work)

Due to sustained pressure and excessive levels of demand on the practice, we will only be undertaking the provision of supporting letters for a limited set of criteria. 

Supplying letters is not considered NHS work and is therefore completed in a doctor’s own time, or is in addition to the work our team does after all NHS work is done.

 

DWP


For the purposes of DWP, we can provide you with a patient summary. A patient summary includes the following:

  • Sensitivities & allergies
  • Latest readings

We will NOT provide letters for:

We may provide letters for other requests


Requests for supporting letters NOT included in the list above will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
