Sick notes

You will need to see / speak to a clinician to request a sick note:

• phone or visit the surgery from 8am to 6:30pm to book an appointment

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.

To request an ongoing sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form
• use the GP online system – Patchs
• phone or visit the surgery from 8am to 6:30pm
