Request for Report
When we are asked to give medical information about you in the form of a report, letter or certificate, the request kick starts a series of processes.
This takes time and is not always straightforward or simple to complete. Some of the information is not available easily and will mean practice staff have to sort and select the right information for the request. You may also need to have an appointment with a nurse or doctor.
When we receive a request we need to establish who is funding this work if it is not part of core NHS work.
We receive requests from insurance companies, the DVLA and police
Please note that the minimum charge is £25 and we ask for payment before starting to compile the information.
You can request the following from the practice by completing an online form.
