Fit Notes (Sickness Certificates)

Why do you not issue a fit note free within the first 7 days?

The NHS does not provide fit notes (sick note) within the first 7 days as you are able to self certify during this time for your absence. Should you require a fit note for any reason within the first 7 days then this is a private service. Please ask at reception for the curren charge.

Further details can be found on the NHS.uk website.

Coronavirus fit notes

GP’s are not issuing fit notes for coronavirus symptoms or isolation.  You should self certify for the first 7 days and see national guidelines following that.  If your employer insists upon a fit note then you can download the medical certificate below:
