Sick notes

To request a sick note:

If you require a sick note you will need to contact the surgery.  If this is your first request you will need to call into routine surgery to speak to a Doctor. 

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.
