To request a sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form
• phone or visit the surgery from 8am to 6pm

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. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS Inform.

Patients can email the practice directly, 7 days a week, to request a continuation of a current GP Fit Note (referred to sometimes as a sick line).  Please detail your full name, date of birth, home address and an up to date contact telephone number, along with some brief information concerning your current GP fit note and the length of extension you are looking for.  A GP may require to contact you about this to discuss. GP Fit notes can be collected from the practice once ready.
