Get a sick note for work

The NHS provides sickness certification only after seven continuous days of illness. If you need a sick note to cover this period of sickness you should complete a Self-Certification (SC2) form which is available from your employer, or you can use the button below to download it.

Please contact the GP surgery as you normally would for a routine appointment as it may be necessary to arrange to discuss your request with a GP.

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 contact reception to inform them of this. We will contact you to let you know when you can collect your Sick / Fit Note or we may contact you to arrange an appointment.
