Sick (fit) notes

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

To request a sick note:

  • fill out an online form via Anima
  • 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.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
