If you require a new sick note

If you need a new sick certificate (‘fit note’) for a new condition lasting 7 days where you have not consulted any medical professional yet, please complete an online form

We will respond to sick note requests within 2 working days

By law we cannot backdate a note to before the first time you were seen, so please ensure you have done our online form within the first 7 days.

We do not give fit notes for periods of less than 7 days as you can self-certify. 

If you require an extension to your existing sick note please visit the UK government website

If you require an extension to a fit note which we have already given you, but do not need to discuss anything else, please do not book a GP appointment.
