Sick Certificates

You only need a doctor’s note if you are unable to work and are ill for longer than seven calendar days. Your employer will provide you with an SC2 self-certificate form for shorter periods of illness.

 

You can download a form online and print it off using this link

 

If you are still unable to work after seven calendar days and require a Doctors Fit To Work Note – You must contact the Surgery and speak to a GP in the first instance.

If you require an extension to a Doctors Fit To Work Note – Please call and speak to a Receptionist
