Sick/Fit notes

If you’re unwell and cannot work, you may need a fit note (sometimes called a sick note) for your employer.

You might need a fit note if you are unwell and cannot work for more than 7 days, including weekends and bank holiday.

You do not need a fit note if you cannot work for 7 days or less.

A fit note can support you to return to work or stay in work. You can also use your fit note to help you claim benefits or statutory sick pay (SSP).

 

If you need to request a sick/fit note, you can do this using our new triage system called ‘Anima’ or alternatively call the surgery on 01235 468860.
