Sick and fit notes

Off sick for 7 days or less

You do not need a fit note for the first 7 days you are ill. This includes days you do not work, like weekends.

If your work asks for proof, you can fill in a form called an SC2.

To request a sick note:

If you are still not well when your fit note ends, you can ask for another one.

Please ask a few days before it ends. You can use our online form or call us on 020 7736 6305.

If you have been in hospital, the hospital should give you a fit note. Ask them for one before you leave.

Use our online form to ask for help or ask a question.

You can use the form when the practice is open.

We will reply the same working day.
