Sick/Fit Note Certificates
If you have been ill for MORE THAN 7 days
If you have been ill for more than 7 days you will need a doctor’s certificate. These certificates are called ‘Fitness to Work’ Certificates.
The doctor may call you or arrange for an appointment. You can fill out a sick note request form here.
If you have already been seen by your Doctor about this illness your certificate will be sent to you within a week.
Requesting an additional Sick/Fit Note
If you have already had a Sick Note (Fit Note) for this illness your Doctor may not need to see you to issue an additional Sick Note.
Please complete this 'Additional Sick Note' form. We will contact you to let you know when you can collect your Sick / Fit Note or we may contact you to arrange an appointment.
Your doctor will only give a fit note if your health affects your fitness for work, they CANNOT give a fit note stating that you are "fit for work". The fit note is classed as advise from your doctor to help you and your employer discuss ways to support you to stay in, or return to work.
