NHS patients occasionally need care that is outside of what the NHS covers. This can include forms and medicals eg:
- armed-forces or DVLA medical assessments
- mortgage/life insurance medicals
- medical assessment for working abroad (camp America and similar schemes)
The below charges for such services are based on the time taken to complete the examination necessary (if required at all), a review of your medical notes current and past and administration time in preparing and filing reports. Private letters or reports can take up to 28 days to complete.
The commonest complaint is that an individual perceives the form as a quick sign-it and leave, as there isn’t much detail on the form. Often though a doctor is signing to say that they are happy with their knowledge of a patient, that they will be safe in a certain scenario. This can only be assessed by:
- being familiar with the whole patient history (requires reviewing of all the whole patient notes)
- and in some cases may include physically assessing the patient (level of detailed determined by form or by the intended activity)
