If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- phone or visit the surgery after 9am, when we are open
- fill out an online sick note request form
- email the practice on admin.miltonsurgery1@nhs.net
We will only accept an online sick note request form if you are requesting an extension for a sick note or have been seen by a GP for that complaint recently.
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.
