Request a sickness certificate (fit note)
If you are off work for 7 days or less, you do not need to give your employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional.
Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or you can download it from the HMRC website.
You must give your employer a doctor’s ‘fit note’ (sometimes called a ‘sick note’) if you’ve been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.
Any new fit note request's require a consultation first. Please call at 8am Monday - Friday to book an appointment.
Want to extend your fit note? Request an extension fit note here. We are unable to backdate sick note's - please ensure you are informing us at least 48 hours prior to the note running out.
