What are sick notes?
Sick notes (also known as fit notes or Med 3 forms) can be issued to patients if you have been sick for more than one week (5 working days).
To order a sick note, you need to call us on the day it is due. Please call before 11am on the day and we will have it ready for collection after 4pm.
Sick notes can be collected from the reception desk after being processed, or we can send you a digital copy of your sick note via a text message – please let our reception team know which method you would prefer.
What if I’m sick for less than a week?
If you are sick for less than a week (5 working days), you do not need a sick note from a doctor and can instead complete a Statutory Sick Pay form. More information can be found here at the GOV.UK website.
