To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
- phone or visit the surgery from 9am to 5pm
- A patient can return to work before a sick note has expired
- We don't provide 'fit to work/return to work' forms.
Sick notes
If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
