Sick notes

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.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.

If this is your first instance of needing a sick note and a clinician at the surgery is not already aware of your medical problem, to request a sick note:

• phone the surgery from 8am to 6pm
