Sick notes

To request a sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form

Please let us know if you wish to collect this in person or have it emailed to you.

We may contact you once a GP has reviewed your request. This might be because an appointment is required first or some extra detail is required.

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.
