Sick (fit) note request

Use this service to get a sick (fit) note for work following an absence of more than 7 days.

You can use this service if you:

  • are registered at the surgery

There is good evidence that work promotes physical and mental wellbeing. You may feel that you are fit to do some work, but not the role you are currently employed to do at this time. You should speak with your employer to see if they can consider any changes to your current duties or working hours.

If you still feel that you need a fit note from the GP, please complete the below with as much detail as possible. Your GP will assess your fitness to work, and determine whether your health condition impairs your fitness to work or not. If your GP feels that your health condition does impair your fitness to work, you will receive your certificate through the post or contacted to collect from the practice. The GP will determine if ‘you are not fit for work’ or ‘you may be fit for work taking account of advice’ eg currently unable to stand for long periods of time.

Before you start

We’ll ask you for:

  • your first and last name, date of birth, sex, postcode, email and phone number
  • if applicable, the details of the person you are completing the form on behalf of

Please give your GP as much detail as possible to assist with their decision.
