Getting a sick note for work

To request a sick note:

  • fill out a sick note request form via https://florey.accurx.com/p/Y02849;
  • phone or visit the practice (please note, all calls are recorded for training and quality purposes).

If you are off work sick for seven days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you have been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you have been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
