If you have already been seen by your Doctor about this illness your certificate will be sent to you within a week.
Please note, we cannot issue continuation of a fit note in advance of its start date.
You can also phone us on Netherton Health Centre 01384 239657 or Hazel Road 01384 259758 or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm.
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.
