Non NHS Services

There are a number of medical reports that we are often asked to complete on behalf of agencies and organisations such as insurance companies or private health providers.

This work is outside of the statutory General Practice contract.

GP’s do not have a contractual obligation to fill in these reports and Ryeland Surgery can only offer this service on a private basis.

Non-urgent advice: Please note

Any such requests for factual information (such as a life insurance application) may be outsourced to iGPR who will liaise with the insurance company directly.

iGPR is accredited by NHS Digital and conforms to the relevant data security standards.

 Sporting or Social Activity Medical Forms

We do not complete any forms to say you are medically fit to take part in any sporting or social activity.  You are able to provide a summary of your own medical history via the NHS App or you will find an alternative private provider to complete the form for you.

Medical Examinations

  • We only carry out DVLA medicals if the DVLA contact us directly requiring information regarding a specific medical condition. We will charge the DVLA, there is no charge to the patient.
  • We also carry out fostering and adoption medicals. It is usual for the Agency to be invoiced directly for this service.
  • We do not carry out private medicals such as HGV, taxi or sports medicals.

For any further information or clarification please speak to our Patient Advisors at Reception.
