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.
