Fit/sick notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you need a sick note this can be requested through SystmConnect at any time of the day and our team will action this.

We ask that everyone who is able to contact us online does so in order to free up the telephone lines.

Please only phone the surgery if you have no access to an online device.

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.
