For absences of five or less working days employers are responsible for providing self certification forms for members of their staff. If your employer requires a Doctor’s sick note for absences of five days or less there is a fee payable, as this comes under the heading of non-NHS work.
The doctor will only issue a fit note if you are absent for more than five working days and you have spoken with a medical professional about this. For a continuation fit note you can contact the surgery and request this but please be aware that the doctor may need to contact you for more information. Any contact for a fit note should be made through our online system, Klinik. If this is not possible, please phone the surgery on 0117 965 3102.
