If you have been ill for 7 days or less, you don't need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self-Certification form yourself. However, some employers insist on a Doctor's note regardless. A Doctor's note under these circumstances involves a charge.   

If you have been ill for more than 7 calendar days your employer will require you to provide a doctor's certificate. These certificates are called 'Fitness to Work' certificates. The doctor may call you or arrange an appointment.

If you have already been seen by your Doctor about this illness your certifcate will be sent to you within a week. 

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 complete this form. 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.
