Sick notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • fill out a Klinik form under the title 'Sick/Fit notes'
  • phone or visit the surgery and reception will complete a Klinik form with you

An appoitnment will be arranged if this is the first request. 

If an extension to an existing note is needed this can be done without another appointment. The date it will be given must be on or after the expiry date of the previous note. 

 

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Self Certification Form

You can print the form here if your workplace does not provide one.
