Sick notes

To request a sick note you must have been seen or spoken to by a clinican and self certfied for 7 days prior.

You can request by either:

• filling out a sick note request form
• phone or visit the surgery from 9am to 6pm

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.
