Anima – Monday 14th April 2025

We have a new way in which you can book appointments and submit admin requests coming to Lion Health on Monday 14th April 2025. To find out more, please click on the Anima tab below.

Please note our Get Help form has been disabled in anticipation for this change. You can still book appointments by calling the surgery in the interim.

Sick (fit) notes

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

To request a sick note:

  • fill out a sick note request form
  • phone us on 01384 460111 or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm
  • You will need to speak to a clinician for a first note.

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. We call this self-certification.
