Sick Notes And Fit Notes

If you have been off work due to illness for 7 calendar days or fewer (including weekends and bank holidays), you do not need a doctor’s fit note.. Your employer may, however, require you to complete a self-certification form SC1 which is available from your employer, the Surgery or the HMRC website

For any illness lasting longer than six days you will need to request a sick note from the practice. Please click here to fill out a sick note request form. Please be aware that the current wait time for a sick note is approximately 1 week but they can be backdated to cover the period of sickness required.
