Fit Note Information

For ongoing Med3 certificates you do not need a GP appointment.

You can submit an electronic request by submitting a PATCHS administration request or call into the surgery and fill out a sick note request form. Please note, we will not take sick note requests over the phone. 

You do not require a doctor’s sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may, however, may require you to complete a self-certification form SC1 which is available to download via this HMRC Website.
