Commonly called a “Sick Note” or “Doctor’s Note”, but officially known as a “Fit Note” , “Statement of Fitness for Work” or “Medical Certificate MED 3”.
The NHS Website has helpful information about when you need one and other questions.
How to request one:
– From the doctor or nurse practitioner during your appointment
– send an e-consult or online message
– in writing to reception
Please note: we can only issue a Fit Note for a problem that has been assessed by a health professional.
