Private Prescriptions and Sick Notes

Private Prescriptions in Nottingham

Private Prescription

If you are unable to reach your regular GP and need a prescription quickly, we are here to help. Our Nottingham City Centre Clinic offer a private prescription service as part of our GP consultations.

Prescription services are a standard part of our doctor consultations. Our experienced doctors can provide you with a repeat prescription or new medication based on the doctor’s assessment.

We can also provide private prescriptions for requests on certain medications if the doctor deems it appropriate. The clinic will also be able to assist patients with repeat prescriptions for those with long-term conditions or specific requirements. Local pharmacies can accept faxed requests from our clinic for any medications you may require.

When issuing prescriptions, we are required to ensure the following:

A consultation with our Doctor is required for all new patients and all new prescriptions (unless we are treating an infection we have diagnosed through testing).
If your prescription is for conditions such as anxiety, depression, pain management or sleep disturbance, we may need to speak to your GP to verify when you were last prescribed the medication.
We do not guarantee that our doctors will be able to provide the prescription you are requesting. We must act in accordance with medical and clinical guidelines.
Repeat prescriptions are issued in accordance with clinical guidelines. Sometimes, a follow-up consultation or telephone discussion may be required.

Obtaining a private prescription at Park Private Clinic in Nottingham is quick, efficient, and safe. We can generally turn around requests for repeat prescriptions on the same day. Other prescriptions can be processed either the same day or within 24 hours, guaranteed. We serve patients from across the Midlands, including Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Mansfield and Sheffield.

You will need to see a doctor before any of the medication is prescribed to you. Your prescription will be separate from your Consultation fee. However, once you have been seen by one of the GPs, ongoing repeat private prescriptions for the medications will only cost you £25 (for any number of medications) each time.

Please note:

Park Private Clinic issues private prescriptions which can be taken to any UK Pharmacy. The cost of each medication prescribed is variable and reflects the actual cost of the medication.

Park Private Clinic does not routinely issue repeat prescriptions without a medical review of the patient by our doctor. In accordance with Good Medical Practice, all patients on long-term prescribed medication will be required to make themselves available for a medical review before further medication is issued. Patients on long-term medication will need to see our doctor at regular intervals for monitoring and review of their prescription.

Patients must take responsibility for requesting their medications at a time that allows prescriptions to be generated and medicines to be collected by them. We ask patients to allow two working days for a private prescription to be generated once requested. Under exceptional circumstances, we can deliver a 24-hour turnaround of this facility.

Please be aware that our GP does not routinely prescribe controlled drugs. If a controlled drug is prescribed, the doctor would only supply a very small quantity of the medication. The medication would be prescribed at the clinical discretion of the GP. We maintain a policy of keeping your NHS GP informed about the medications prescribed and your clinical condition. This allows your NHS doctor to stay fully informed about your health and medication use. Park Private Clinic aims to act as a service that complements your NHS doctor’s function.

Private Sick Notes

There is no doubt that from time to time, we all suffer ailments that prevent us from carrying out our day-to-day work and other activities. In these trying times, we are often required to provide medical certification that the reason for absence is justified on medical grounds. At Park Private Clinic, we are able to provide medical certificates for patients who require them. These can be issued as part of a consultation with one of our doctors.

Furthermore, letters requested can usually be prepared within 24 hours of receipt of requests from patients. Such letters may provide further details and reasoning for absences where a medical certificate may not be sufficient.

You will see our experienced doctor, who will issue a medical certificate after a careful review of your medical history and assessment of your medical condition.
