Sick (fit) notes

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • complete an online request (on our homepage)
  • phone / visit the surgery between 10am to 6pm

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer does not require medical evidence (fit note). Instead, they will ask you to complete a self-certification form when you return to work.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
