If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
- phone or visit the surgery from 8am to 6.30pm
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. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
