What Is a Fit to Work Certificate?
A Fit to Work Certificate is a private medical letter from a GP confirming that you are medically safe to perform your work duties. It provides a clear, professional statement of your current health and whether you are fit to start work, return after illness, or continue in your role with adjustments.
Employers often request this type of certificate when they need reassurance that you can work safely after a period of illness or surgery. Some industries—such as modelling, acting, education, manual labour, and care roles—also ask for medical clearance before you begin.
