Sick/Fit Note Certificates

If you have been ill for 7 days or less you don’t need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self-Certification form yourself. The form will be with your employers.

Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn’t have its own form you can download the Self Certification Form. Please print it, fill it in and hand it in to your employer. You do not need to see a Doctor.

If you have been ill for more than 7 days you will need a doctor’s certificate. These certificates are called ‘Fitness to Work’ Certificates.

You will need to call and arrange an appointment to speak to or see a Doctor. 

If you have already had a Sick Note (Fit Note) for this illness your Doctor may not need to see you to issue an additional Sick Note. Please speak to a receptionist to request the sick note. If a doctor needs to see or speak to you we will contact you.
