St John's Way Medical Centre recognizes and respects the right of patients to make independent decisions about their healthcare. If a patient chooses to seek medical advice or treatment from a private doctor, it is their prerogative to do so. However, it is crucial for patients to understand that St John's Way Medical Centre will not be liable for any costs associated with private healthcare services. 

This decision to consult a private doctor is a personal choice made by the patient, and as such, any financial responsibilities incurred during such consultations, treatments, or procedures will be the sole responsibility of the patient. St John's Way Medical Centre will not cover, reimburse, or accept liability for any costs arising from private medical care. 

It is recommended that patients considering private healthcare services carefully review and understand the financial implications associated with their choice. Patients are encouraged to seek transparency from private healthcare providers regarding the costs involved, and to make informed decisions based on their individual preferences and circumstances. 

St John's Way Medical Centre remains committed to providing quality care and supporting patients in their healthcare decisions. For further information or clarification regarding this policy, please contact the Practice Manager.
