Sick Notes
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.
With 8 clinics across London, getting a sick note with DocTap is even easier than searching for an online sick note.
How to get a sick note
- Book an appointment online and ask the doctor for a sick note during your consultation.
- Provided that they agree that you are not fit for work then they will give it to you during the appointment.
- There is no additional charge for a sick note or doctor's letter.
- With 8 clinics across London and same day appointments it is even easier than searching for an online sick note.

I wish Shobana was my GP.
Sunday, March 16, 2025
First time I used the telephone service. Very easy and great doctor. I understand you try to link up with a doctor seen before if possible which is a great idea.

As a foreign exchange student this was a great option to quickly get checked out! While the building was a little tricky to find, I have lovely interactions with the front desk staff and doctor alike!

It wasn’t possible to get an appointment at my local doctor so it was great to be able to book so quickly. Dr Anna was very helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and thorough.

Fantastic service at a reasonable price. The doctor was very professional and I was able to get an appointment within 20mins on a Sunday!

Fast, convinient, easy service and the GP was very good as she was very engaging and understanding. Got my prescription and sick note very promptly.

Dr Yaw was great, very personable. The UI for the booking system makes it a bit tricky to see exactly where each clinic is -> making the coloured capital letters denoting each clinic smaller would help! Doctor

Dr Joseph is amazing Doctor . I would highly recommend him.
Thursday, March 6, 2025
First time using the DocTap and it was straight forward and easy to use. Super fast getting an appointment to speak with a GP [had appointment in 30 mins] Dr Mehra was very thorough and professional and helped with a referral for an MRI scan which I managed to organise and have on he same day. I would definitely use them again if I needed quick urgent / responsive consultation than wait for my local practice.

Would be helpful to know that there are stairs to the office in case of mobility issues.
Wednesday, March 5, 2025
Hi, Doc Tap has been a great blessing to me for years now. You are a GO TO outfit for me to run to when cornered by health issues and my GP's are no where near/available at all. You are always available and that brings me great comfort. Thank you for being a solution. Kind regards, JOSEPH HOPEWELL Ps: You may use my statement above as you see fit to promote DocTap.

Nothing to say everything’s good for the premises I would recommend to put a consultation room in the first floor for people with disabilities

Really happy with Dr Dhas today, thank you.
Thursday, February 27, 2025
Highly recommend DocTap service. The appointments are easy to get (even with the same doctor) and flexible in terms of time/cost as well as location. I would recommend Dr Kumar who put me at ease and took the time to listen and help without me ever feeling rushed or judged. I have been attending for 3 months and will be keeping Dr Kumar as my regular GP. Also great you can get blood tests and antibiotics directly in the room so is super easy and efficient!
Thursday, February 27, 2025
It was brilliant to use, the doctor had a sense of humour and seemed to actually think about my medications rather than just being and flexible. Ordered my medication and was able to pick them up almost immediately absolutely brilliant will use again.

Lovely doctor and very supportive, especially when I fainted on taking blood for my blood test (!)

Really great. Smooth booming, you can do everything online without having to call unlike some of the other clinics/competitors. Knowledgeable GPs and a pleasant receptionist. 10/10

My mother has been treated by Dr. Nitin Mehra since July last year. He is a very kind, trustworthy and wonderful doctor. I'm sure his other patients feel the same way. We are very lucky to have had such a wonderful doctor.
Friday, February 21, 2025
In a world where it’s virtually impossible to get a an appointment with a GP DicTap always come through.
Thursday, February 20, 2025
Experience is so much better than nhs, you get what you pay for. Minimum wait times and doctors taking their time to really help out. App needs sorting out as kept freezing so I had to book over the phone but overall process was great.
Wednesday, February 19, 2025
The entire experience, from booking the appointment to seeing a doctor and getting feedback on my tests was just as I had hoped it would be.
Tuesday, February 18, 2025
We are visiting from Ireland and didn’t know where to go when my daughter felt poorly. Doctap was great and so easy to locate a doctor near me. We got our medicine in the clinic also. Stress free thank you.

Friday, February 7, 2025
Dr. Becker is awesome, so understanding and helpful!
Thursday, February 6, 2025
I was able to book an appointment for when I wanted, I got enough time to explain symptoms and be checked over and I was prescribed medicine which I received on site so I didn’t have to go to the pharmacy. Value for money was excellent.
Thursday, February 6, 2025
It’s quite intimidating being sick travelling, and this process was just made so easy and efficient. Out Dr was friendly and thorough and was even able to give me the required medication so I could have one less place to navigate! Thank you.
Thursday, February 6, 2025
Both doctors I've seen have been incredible. They were able to see me at the time we booked or earlier both times and were super helpful.

Good experience.
Friday, January 31, 2025
I had the good fortune of being seen by Dr. Nitan Mehra again. I have been seeing General Practitioners for over 45 years, I can say with certainty that Dr. Mehra, has the most amazing (in depth), medical knowledge, ( even surpassing all the other mediocre GPs I have encountered to date), he’s quite an affable fellow as well.

Doctors note for work
Your sick note will include the following information for your work:
- A summary of the medical condition that has given rise to the need for a sick note.
- 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.
- Whether or not you will need to be re-assessed at the end of this period.
Your workplace can verify the validity of your sick note directly with DocTap should they wish to.
Book an appointment nowBeing ill is bad enough, but having to jump through hoops just to get a sick note for work makes the whole experience even worse. Our doctors understand this and can quickly issue you with your sick note so that you can worry about getting better.
