Sick (fit) notes

Klinik

We encourage all patients who are able to complete their request via our digital front-door, Klinik. However, for those patients who are not able, please still telephone your practice and our Patient Services Team will complete the request form on your behalf.

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • fill out a sick note request form
  • phone or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm (only for those who are unable to complete the online form)

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.
