Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
- Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
- Insurance claim forms
- Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
- Private sick notes
- Vaccination certificates
The fees are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
Patient Information
Please note: From 23rd May, Chineham Medical Practice use a Third-Party Company to process Medical Records and Subject Access Requests. This is to ensure GPs focus on patient care.
We use a processor, iGPR Technologies Limited (“iGPR”), to assist us with responding to report requests relating to your patient data, such as subject access requests that you submit to us (or that someone acting on your behalf submits to us) and report requests that insurers submit to us under the Access to Medical Records Act 1988 in relation to a life insurance policy that you hold or that you are applying for.
iGPR manages the reporting process for us by reviewing and responding to requests in accordance with our instructions and all applicable laws, including UK data protection laws. The instructions we issue to iGPR include general instructions on responding to requests and specific instructions on issues that will require further consultation with the GP responsible for your care.
When the Practice create an instruction to iGPR these messages are automatically sent by iGPR to Patients and Third Parties by SMS and email.

The report will be sent to you for access by a secure download link. Please read the instructions carefully. If you have any further enquiries, please contact iGPR on 01527 570005 between 9 and 5pm”.
