In light of the enormous pressure we are under at the moment, we have taken the decision to suspend all non-NHS work for the foreseeable future. This means that we will not be providing DVLA medicals, requests for medical reports, fitness to travel letters, housing forms etc (a full list of items can be found on our website). If you need any non-NHS service, please contact a private provider. We hope to resume these services as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Many practices are receiving requests from insurers and travel companies for GP letters in order for people to cancel holidays due to Covid-19. Information from the Royal College of GPs states: “Insurers and travel companies should be basing their decisions to offer refunds on advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Public Health England, not letters from GPs. It is not a good use of GPs’ time to be writing letters for patients who are not ill but have plans to travel – and GPs will always base their decisions on official advice. The Government has recently also made statements regarding self-isolation and this too is a matter between insurance and travel companies and the individuals concerned.”
