Sick notes

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

All of our Sick note appointments are assessed in a face to face capacity in the surgery.  We have specific slots made available each day for these.  Please contcat the surgery from 8am Mon-Friday and request a sick note slot.  

 

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.
