Sick Note (Fit Note)
Who do I see?
Advice:
To request a sick note from the surgery please complete our online form. This can be found by searching for “sick note” in the search bar / clicking on appointments and Enquiries / using our online consult.
If you have been discharged from hospital, your hospital team will issue any fit notes for the entire period of your recovery. Please contact the ward staff (even after discharge). Schools should not request a GP letter to confirm absence, this can be written by a parent or guardian.
A Fit note can be backdated if required, please discuss this when you see the surgery. Please do not request an emergency or urgent appointment for a fit note.
