Sick notes

Non-urgent advice: 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 an SC2 form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Please follow the link to complete the SC2 online form on the gov.uk website.

Non-urgent advice: If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • fill out a sick note request form via the patchs app
  • phone or visit the surgery from 9am to 5pm

Fill out the Sick note request form

If you need to extend your sick note please submit a request via the patchs app and our Health and Wellbeing Coach Ed will be in touch to review your condition, and be able to provide further advice on getting back to work.
