To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form (This is only for extending existing sick notes)
- For new sick notes phone the surgery from 8am to 6.30pm and ask for a phone appointment with a clinician
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.
