Sickness Certificates 

BACK TO RECEPTION

Request a sickness certificate (fit note)

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

To request a sick note:

• Complete an E-Consult 
• Phone on 01580 712476   
• Visit the surgery from 10.00am to 12.30pm and 2.00pm to 6.00pm 

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.
