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.
