If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out an online sick note request form
- phone or visit the surgery when we are open
Your request will be processed within 4 working days, and approval is subject to GP discretion.
Our healthcare team will review your request and may ask for additional information or schedule a consultation with your GP, if necessary.
Please note, sick notes cannot be issued in advance but can be back dated if necessary.
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.
