The NHS provides free health care for most people, but some services are not covered by NHS payments to the practice. GPs may, at their discretion, offer additional services (such as private medicals, HGV medicals, taxi medicals, gun license applications and renewals, visa applications etc.) that they charge for.

Your doctor, secretarial or admin staff should inform you of any charges before this work is carried out. From 1st September 2022, all non-NHS work will need to be paid for in advance. Once payment has been received, an appointment will be made. Those appointments booked in before this date will be unaffected. This has been made necessary by the number of patients booking medicals and then failing to attend.

For a list of all non-NHS services provided at the RCMG practices and fees from 1st June 2022 click HERE (fees correct for 2024, although may be subject to change at any point).

We have a number of rooms at Holsworthy Medical Centre used by clinicians providing private treatments and appointments. At the moment we are hosting a chiropractor and a hearing specialist. See below for details.

Kiera loves working with individuals from all walks of life, she provides care tailored specifically to you and your lifestyle, using various therapies including spinal manipulation therapy, soft tissue therapies, medical acupuncture and sports rehabilitation.  

Kiera has a strong passion for paediatric care - coming from a family of eight has provided her with great experience with children of all ages. Her mother's work as a midwife further inspires her commitment to helping children achieve optimal physical health during the most important stages of their development.
