Med3 Fit Notes

If you are absent from work for more than 4 days your employer may ask you to complete a self certification form which is produced by HMRC. The Practice is not responsible for issuing this form however the link below will take you to the national self certification form which you can access and complete yourself. Please note that some employers have their own forms and may require you to complete one regardless of the duration of absence.

The practice does not provide Fit notes to patients unless the patient has been absent from work for more than 7 days. In this case, the patient will need to see a GP in the first instance. There are a very small number of employers who may request a private sick note for absences of less than 7 days. We do not provide these. Employers requesting such information should refer the patient to their own occupational  health department where appropriate.
