Doctor's Sick Notes
Your workplace or college may request a fit note if you have taken sick leave or had some days off sick. These can be issued by our doctors. Common reasons include illness, stress or depression.
Fit notes are also sometimes called sick notes, doctor's notes, fitness for work forms or Med3 certificates. For other occasions they can also write you a custom doctor's letter.
Just as importantly, your doctor will be able to examine you and provide appropriate advice and medication to help you start feeling better as quickly as possible.
Our doctors may potentially be able to issue these from a telephone consultation, but we would advise that you make an in-clinic appointment if you require one of these forms.

- Whether or not you are fit to work.
- Whether you may benefit from alterations to your working environment such as a phased return to work, alter hours, amended duties or workplace adaptations.
- The dates that the sick note covers.
