Sickness Certificates

The NHS provides sickness certification only after seven continuous days of illness. If you need a sick note to cover this period of sickness (less than 7 days) you should complete a Self Certification (SC2) form which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website. Please visit the Direct Gov website for full information about fitness for work following a period of sickness.

If you need a sick note (MED3) to cover a period of more than 7 days illness, please fill in the form below

If you require a paper form, please download the document (Sick note-MED3 request) and email it to baconlane.surgery@nhs.net or drop it off at the surgery.

Do I need a note saying I’m fit for work?

No. You decide when you are well enough to work and do not need the GP to say you are well enough even if you sick note has not expired yet
