This issue is purely to do with confirmation of attending the surgery for
whatever reason, eg a bloke who works for one of the rail companies had cryo
to a wart:
'I need a note for work, doc, to confirm that I've come to the surgery today
so they can pay me for my time out of work'
And since then there have been other similar requests, not all from
employees of same company.
Clearly as this is non-GMS work, if agreed to, a charge would apply, but
it's another of those extra bits of work which make me disgruntled about
being asked, yet it's too easy to agree to do.
Jenny's suggestion about the appointment card is simple except how many
people remember to bring their card? and why should my receptionists end up
with another job to do on someone else's behalf?

Private consultation if they have not come for anything else. The New
contract says that we can charge if the patient is seeking a service
that is at the request of a third party.
If they are ill and need assessment or treatment then this is a fitness
for work statement and would attract a fee of £25 minimum.
