Sick (fit) Notes

If you have been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note please phone or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm.

If you have been off sick for 7 days or less

If you have been off work for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask you for medical evidence that you have been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you have been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
