New ‘Sick Note’

If you have been unwell and off work more than 7 days, you will need a ‘sick note/doctor’s paper’ now known as a ‘Fitness to Work’ certificate.

If you have been discharged from the hospital, please ask your consultant for a Fit Note.

If you have already seen in the surgery about this illness, your certificate may be ready in 72 working hours.
