If you have been ill for more than 7 days you will need a doctor’s certificate.
These certificates are called ‘Fitness To Work’ Certificates.

The doctor may call you or arrange for an appointment.

If you have already been seen by your Doctor about this illness your certificate will be sent to you within a week.

We are not issuing sick notes for those patients with coronavirus. Please note if you need to provide evidence to your employer that you need to stay at home due to coronavirus, you will be able to get this from the NHS 111 Online instead of having to get a fit note from your doctor.
