Sick notes

To request a sick note:

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

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.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.

Are you struggling to work with health problems or currently off work sick?

Friarwood Surgery is offering a free clinic, run by an Occupational Therapist that could help people  with both physical and mental health difficulties stay in or get back to work.
