If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
- phone us on 01384 271 241
- visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm
To ensure the sick note is accurate, please provide as much information as possible with respect to the condition and requested duration. Please note sick notes cannot be forward dated.
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.
