Fit notes (Statement of Fitness for Work)

To request a fit note:

• complete an e-consult
• phone or visit the surgery

Please note, fit notes cannot be provided for a future date, however, they can be back-dated.

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.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
