Fit notes & Sick notes

Click here to request a sick note or fit note and complete the online questionnaire. The reception staff will respond to you via telephone call or text message within 2 working days (not including bank holidays).

When do I need a fit note?

7 days off sick 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. This is called self-certification.

Click here for the self-certification form (SC2)

More than 7 days off sick

If you're off work sick for more than 7 days, your employer will usually ask for a fit note (or Statement of Fitness for Work) from a GP or hospital doctor. Fit notes are sometimes referred to as medical statements or a doctor's note.
