Fishermead Medical Centre - The clinics and other services offered by our doctors surgery

PRIVATE MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

elderley_lady_bpcheck We carry out routine medical examinations for insurance companies and employers.There is a charge for such medicals which sometimes has to be paid by the patient personally. This will usually be the case for HGV and taxi driver licences and for the fitness to drive medicals required by most insurance companies for those over 70. Please ask the receptionist about charges when you book a medical.

PRIVATE HEALTH CARE

We are happy to refer patients who wish to see a specialist in private practice - we do not charge for organising this. We do make a charge for the completion of claim forms for private health insurance eg BUPA, PPP etc. A full schedule of fees, updated in April each year, is available on request from the secretary.

SICKNESS CERTIFICATES

If you are off work for less than seven days you are responsible for your own self-certification on form SC2 (available from reception or any post office). If your employer will not accept an SC2 we can issue a private medical certificate for which we charge a fee. After seven days you will be entitled to an NHS medical certificate.

Test Results

Please telephone for results between 11.00am - 12.30pm or 2.00 – 3.30pm. In order to maintain confidentiality the results will only be given to patients themselves or to parents of minors.
