Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form (admin request)
• phone on: 0116 2353579 for Baxters Close Surgery or 0116 236 6333 for Astill Lodge Surgery
• email the surgery at:  beaumont.mp@nhs.net (include as much detail as possible)

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 a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification – form available SC2-Form.
