If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days then please request a sick note by:
Using Ask First
The quickest and easiest way to request a Sick (fit) note is by using askFIRST.
Save time by handling non-clinical requests without calling or visiting the practice. Services include:
- Sick / Fit Notes
- Referrals
- Care Information
- Test Results
- Medical Reports
- Travel Advice
Alternatively you may telephone the practice between 11am and 6:30pm or visit the reception at any of the practice locations between 8am and 6:30pm
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.
