Fit (sick) Note

Fit (sick) Note

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

To request a sick note:

  • Request a sick note via your NHS App
  • Request a sick note by filling out our online triage form here

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, this form will be given to you by your employer. We call this self-certification and the form to complete can be found here.
