Prescriptions & medications As a private GP service our doctors can only issue private prescriptions. We cannot issue NHS prescriptions. With private prescriptions, you pay for the cost of the medication rather than the NHS prescription fee. On occasion, the cost of the medication will be lower than an NHS prescription fee; however, costs will be higher for other medications. All pharmacies will fulfil private prescriptions; however, costs may vary between pharmacies.
Existing patients can request repeat prescriptions by clicking here and completing the online form.
To obtain your prescription, we can either post to your home address, arrange for you to collect from the practice or we can send it direct to the pharmacy of your choice (with the exception of controlled drugs which must either be collected or sent by recorded delivery either to you or to a designated pharmacy).
In addition, we can arrange for your medication to be delivered to your home or workplace by our pharmacy partner, Totally Pharmacy – please note a delivery fee will apply and payment for both the medication and delivery is made direct to the pharmacy.
We carry a limited stock of common medications at our surgery, which our doctors can dispense to patients during a consultation as appropriate, saving a trip to the pharmacy.
All dispensed medication is payable on the day of the consultation.
Laboratory tests We offer an extensive range of private laboratory tests including:
- A wide range of blood tests
- Microbiology swabs
- Urine tests
- Cervical smears
It is essential for us to ensure that all medical tests selected are appropriate for you; therefore, in most cases you will need to book a consultation with a GP before any tests are carried out. If another healthcare professional has advised you to take a test, please bring written details with you to your appointment.
We offer a secure and fast turnaround of results. We will confirm during your consultation how your results will be communicated and the timeframe for when they are likely to be received.
We also offer some in-house instant tests at our surgery, carried out during your consultation:
- Streptococcus A
- Influenza A and B
- Blood sugar levels
Additionally, we offer a colorectal cancer screening test, available following a GP consultation. The test kit is taken home and returned to the surgery for processing. Depending on the time of day the sample is returned, same day results are available.
Prices are available on request. All fees are additional to membership or consultation fees, and are payable on the day.
Health monitoring & diagnostics DoctorNow offers a range of diagnostic tests and monitoring, which one of our GPs can discuss during your consultation.

Earwax removal We provide a range of safe and effective ear wax removal options. On examination of your ears during your appointment, we will be able to determine the best solution for you involving one or more of the following techniques:
- Microsuction – this is the most common form of earwax removal and involves a clinician looking into your ear with a microscope which magnifies the ear canal. This makes it easier to assess and clean the ear using a suction device which does not require water
- Irrigation – this involves a clinician flushing the ear with a gentle flow of warm water using specialist medical equipment
- Instrumentation – this involves the clinician using a specialist medical instrument called a Jobson–Horne probe, which can be used to remove a collection of ear wax or other obstruction that is located by the opening of the ear canal

Travel health Protect yourself whilst travelling abroad by getting yourself vaccinated against serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
Our team can help you understand the possible risks and discuss how you can stay best protected against a number of diseases.
Our recommendation is to book a consultation at least 8 weeks before you are due to travel. Some vaccinations need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity, and others may involve more than one dose spread over several weeks or months.
During your consultation, our team can support you in determining which vaccinations are required or that we recommend, depending on the areas you’ll be visiting.
It is useful if you are able to bring an up to date record of your NHS vaccinations when attending the consultation.
