Sick notes

To request a sick note:

• Fill out an online form via SystmConnect by selecting 'Fit Note Request' under Admin Request
• visit the surgery or phone in after 11am

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.
