Fit notes & Sick notes

Sick (fit) notes

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

To request a first time sick note, phone the reception team on 01604 587918, option 2, at 8am or 2pm. The doctor will need to approve this before it can be sent to you. 

To request an extension on your sick note, phone the reception team on 01604 587918, option 3. The best time to call for this is between 10am - 12:30pm and 4pm - 6pm. 

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.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.

Your employer is responsible for providing you with form SC1 (self-certification) for the first seven days of absence from work due to sickness.

Alternatively complete a self certification form online
