If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- If this is your first fit note, please call or visit the surgery to arrange an appointment with a clinician to discuss your illness. They will issue a fit note if required.
- If you have a sick note that has run out and you need to request another sick note you can do so by calling after 11am, or you can email us at redlam.surgery@nhs.net.
Alternatively, fill out a sick note request 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.
