FIT NOTE

If you have been unable to work for more than 7 days, including weekends and bank holidays you might need a fit note.

If you have NOT seen a GP at the practice about the problem and we have no information from a medical professional you will need to request a GP appointment before a fit note will be issued.  You can request a GP appointment via our TOTAL DIGITAL TRIAGE SERVICE

If you have already seen a GP about the problem or we have recieved a letter from the hospital about it, you can then request a fit note via our TOTAL DIGITAL TRIAGE SERVICE 

If you have been unwell for less than 7 days, you do not need to see a GP for a Fit note.

However your employer may need you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or you can download it.

You do not need to see a GP to Self Certificate

Please note that the GP may not be able to supply a certifcate depending on the information you provide, if you are under the care of a hospital, your certificate may be issued by the hospital, rather than by the practice.

FIT NOTE - EXTENSION

If you are still unwell and your fit note has run out, you will need to request an extension.

You can request a fit note extension via our TOTAL DIGITAL TRIAGE SERVICE
