Sick notes

To request a sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form
• Complete an online request via Patchs online.  Patchs is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6.30pm.  Click on  'Contact Your GP Online' on our home page.
• phone or visit the surgery

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.
